Nepotism claims made, as HSE manager accused of sealing job for relative at Cavan hospital

The internal audit confirmed that the job candidate did not meet the criteria for the post at Cavan General Hospital, yet a familial relationship raised questions.

Despite the findings of the internal audit, the whistleblower alleged that adequate investigation was not conducted regarding the familial relationship involving the manager.

After making a protected disclosure, the whistleblower claimed to have been removed from his position in a manner regarded as unprecedented and contrary to governance.

The whistleblower's core complaint about the interference in hiring practices and recruitment governance raised significant concerns about institutional integrity within the HSE.
