Grace files: Grace scandal officials given senior roles

Two HSE officials directly involved in the Grace foster abuse scandal were promoted to senior roles to protect vulnerable adults at risk of abuse two years after the damning Conal Devine report was completed, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith, Daniel McConnell, Elaine Loughlin, and Noel Baker.

The Irish Examiner has learned that the appointments were made despite serious concerns over how foster care standards and check-ups were overseen throughout the crisis.
