The State has been accused of “burying what really happened” and “walking away from its responsibilities” to Grace, a severely intellectually disabled woman, and 46 others who were placed in the same foster home.

The Government has decided not to press ahead with a second phase of the Farrelly Commission of Investigation, which was tasked with examining allegations of abuse and severe neglect.
