Whistleblower devastated at findings of report into 24 covid deaths in nursing home 

With only a summary of the investigation into nursing home deaths published, Mallow woman Margo Hannon remains doubtful reform can follow. 

The whistleblower who revealed tragic failures at a Dublin nursing home in 2020 said she is “devastated” by summary investigation findings published by the HSE.

Some 24 people died from covid-19 at St Mary’s Hospital, Phoenix Park that year, according to HSE records. This report shows 22 died during an initial outbreak from March to April.
