Anger overdelays in ‘Grace’ inquiry

Anne Rabbitte TD, Minister of State at the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.

There is mounting anger in Government as the State Commission of Investigation into the ‘Grace’ foster abuse case seeks yet another time extension to conclude its work.

Described as "the greatest scandal of our time" in the Dáil, the commission is probing the 20 years of neglect of Grace, an intellectually disabled woman placed in a foster home in the southeast of the country.
