HSE apologises for failing to suspend UHL doctor jailed for raping nurse in Limerick

Health service apologises after admitting a delay in suspending the doctor left the victim feeling unsafe at work

Convicted rapist Louay Kila: Nurse said in the aftermath of the assault she was constantly looking over her shoulder — 'hoping that Louay Kila wasn't nearby'.

The HSE has apologised for its “failure” to suspend a UHL doctor which “added to the suffering” of a young nurse, who was raped and sexually assaulted in Limerick.

The HSE has admitted Louay Kila should have been suspended immediately, “in light of the victim impact statement and the evidence heard during this appalling case”.
