The daughter of a nursing home resident who died during the covid-19 pandemic has said she wants accountability after an outbreak that left 24 residents dead.

Susan Cummins from Grenagh in Cork said residents “were left to die” at the CareChoice nursing home in Ballynoe, Co Cork. “This could have been prevented, but nothing was done. The staff knew they were in trouble and didn’t get help,” she said.
