A Cork care home where 10 people died after contracting Covid-19 was found to be substantially non-compliant with some of the most basic health regulations when inspected two months after the deaths.

A damning Hiqa report into the HSE-run Clonakilty Community Hospital less than two months after a deadly outbreak there shows it was compliant in just five of 21 regulations it was inspected for in June.
