Residents in a south Dublin nursing home and disability centre, which faces closure under High Court liquidation proceedings, were particularly vulnerable, a judge has heard.

“I represent both employees and residents, some of whom are in their twilight years and some of whom are blind and I will have to travel to meet many of them,” solicitor Gary Daly told the court today, when he was granted an adjournment to facilitate the preparation of evidence on their behalf.
