A late decision to take a newly built nursing home away from elderly residents who were preparing to move in was signed off by the regional executive officer for the HSE Midwest. 

The nursing home in Nenagh, Co Tipperary, was in the process of being equipped by staff, and residents of an older antiquated building, the nearby St Conlon's nursing home, were preparing to transfer to the new premises.
