Judge hits out at State failure to accommodate 'insane' man after hearing of waiting list for Central Mental Hospital

A judge has hit out at the failure of the State to provide a secure placement for a Co. Clare man declared insane.

At Ennis Circuit Court, Judge Gerald Keys said that the State’s failure to find a placement for Ross Malone (aged 25) “is down to lack of resources and facilities which the State is duty-bound to provide and has failed to do so”.
