The brother of a man who fatally stabbed his wife before taking his own life has appealed to the Taoiseach to ensure that he and his parents get access to a long-awaited mental health care report into the tragedy almost six years ago.

Kevin Greaney issued his appeal last night after revealing that next-of-kin legal advice to the HSE in relation to the ‘systems analysis review’ of the care afforded to Michael Greaney in the months before the double-stabbing tragedy in Cork in 2014 could prevent the release of the report to him and to his ageing parents.
