Care home resident who was verbally abused awarded €32k 

Young woman with significant disabilities 'was being forced to take medication and bad language was used'

A young woman with significant disabilities who was verbally abused while being told to take medication at a residential care facility has been awarded €32,500 in compensation at a remote hearing of the High Court from Cork.

Ms Justice Bronagh O’Hanlon made an order prohibiting the publication of any details that would identify the plaintiff and on this basis the residential institution where the verbal abuse occurred is not identified.
