High Court hears HSE and Tusla may be sued over care of intellectually disabled siblings

The HSE and/or Tusla may be sued on behalf of an intellectually disabled adult brother and sister who, despite concerns about possible neglect and sexual abuse at their mother's home, were returned there some weekends from residential care.

The president of the High Court, Mr Justice Peter Kelly, granted permission today to pursue possible personal injury proceedings on behalf of the siblings, who were made wards of court last year.
