Grace probe delayed due to scale of findings
The Grace investigation into claims a severely disabled mute woman suffered decades of sexual abuse at a State foster home has asked to delay its findings until the end of the year — pushing back the start of inquiries into 46 other cases at the home.
The Irish Examiner has learned that the Farrelly commission asked Health Minister Simon Harris to extend its May 15 deadline to the end of 2019 after uncovering thousands of new documents and because of delays in interviewing some witnesses.
