Coveney: Delay in release of residential home abuse report is down to gardaí

Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney told the Dáil the publication of the report has since been delayed, despite pleas from the families involved, due to an issue raised by An Garda Síochána.

The only delay in publishing a report into sustained sexual abuse at a residential home in Donegal is due to gardaí, the Dáil has heard.

The report, from the HSE’s National Independent Review Panel (NIRP), found the Ard Gréine Court complex and Sean O’Hare Unit in St Joseph’s hospital in Stranorlar had allowed sexual abuse to continue “unabated”.
