The families of victims of the ‘Grace’ foster abuse scandal have condemned the decision to grant another 12-month extension to the State commission of investigation.
Described as "the greatest scandal of our time" in the Dáil, the commission is probing the 20 years of neglect of Grace, an intellectually disabled woman placed in a foster home in the South-East of the country.
