HSE apologises for 'very serious failings' after High Court awards 'Grace' €6.3m

The High Court has approved a settlement worth €6.3m for 'Grace' , the young woman with intellectual disabilities who was left in the care of a foster family for 20 years despite physical abuse, gross neglect and possible sexual abuse.

President of the High Court, Mr Justice Peter Kelly approved the settlement describing the failure of care in this case as a scandal, write Daniel McConnell and Fiachra O Cionnaith of the Irish Examiner.
