Justice Minister 'extremely concerned' at findings of neglect in 'Grace' report
Briefly

Norma Foley has called for the HSE to explain the failure to remove Grace from her foster home, where she wasn't seen by a qualified social worker for six years. Despite a complaint of sexual abuse, Grace was not removed, missed school, and suffered dental issues. The Farrelly Commission reported fundamental failures in care and oversight by health authorities, although it found insufficient evidence for claims of serious abuse. Grace, now 46, has spent most of her life in state care.
The Commission of Investigation found fundamental failures in the duty of care for Grace, highlighting an absence of oversight and the lack of qualified social worker visits.
Despite being a profoundly vulnerable individual, Grace was left without proper monitoring or support throughout her time in foster care, raising serious concerns over her treatment.
