Limerick disability centre residents not protected from abuse

An investigation by the health watchdog found residents at the centre, run by nuns, were not 'protected from abuse'

Hiqa's report says the Limerick centre was not fully compliant in nine areas in which it was assessed. 

A Limerick residential home run by nuns has been sharply criticised by the health watchdog for not doing enough to protect residents from abuse.

That was one of the damning findings included in a new report from Hiqa, which focused on a centre for people with intellectual disabilities whose "voices were not always heard”.
