HSE Report on Foster Home in Waterford Community Care Area: Discussion

I have looked at the timeline of the events. During 1992-1993 there were a lot of allegations made about abuse, which led to an internal investigation by a Pat Donaghy. Arising from that, some time later - perhaps about two years afterwards - placements in that foster home were stopped, with the exception of the woman called Grace. Presumably the report by Pat Donaghy raised very serious concerns. How was it that probably the most vulnerable person was left in the home when everybody else was removed? I accept that is before Mr. O'Brien's time but does he have any sense of understanding of why that happened?
