Residents at a centre for disabilities were left distressed and upset over how plans to transfer them to a different setting was being handled, according to a report by health watchdog Hiqa.

The Health Information and Quality Authority noted a number of non-compliances at the Cork City North 24, run by the Cope Foundation in Cork City. It was the subject of the inspection last December, when it was home to 22 people.
