Nursing home investigation bolsters need for public inquiry, say families

Families, who lost loved ones in a Covid-19 outbreak in Dealgan House, are calling for a public inquiry into the deaths in the sector

Families of those who died during a Covid-19 outbreak in a Co Louth nursing home last year say they were "saddened, but not surprised" by a nursing homes investigation on RTÉ.

Some of the families who lost loved ones during a deadly outbreak in Dealgan House in April and May 2020 say the programme on Prime Time "only bolsters the inalienable need for a public inquiry" into nursing homes.
