The State commission of investigation into the abuse of 'Grace', a girl with intellectual disabilities in a foster home for 20 years, is to examine whether 46 others in the home were also abused.

The Farrelly Commission has all but concluded its work on the Grace case and Attorney General Paul Gallagher is considering two large reports on ‘Grace’ about her ordeal in a foster home over a 20-year period ahead of their publication.
