HSE bid to sack 'Grace' whistle-blower

A senior HSE manager tried to sack the whistle-blower who revealed the Grace foster abuse scandal in a detailed legal letter which was proven to involve entirely “fabricated” claims writes Daniel McConnell and Fiachra Ó Cionnaith

Fine Gael TD John Deasy, who has been central to uncovering the controversy, highlighted the situation under Dáil privilege last night, claiming the HSE manager attempted to “ruin her career” because she was “exposing their failings”.
