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

12:00 pm

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

I would do what we did in the case of Áras Attracta, which was to place a significant number of staff on protective leave in accordance with the safeguarding policy that is in place today, pending an investigation; establish that investigation; and wait for our ability to proceed with disciplinary proceedings before we did so. In the Áras Attracta case that investigation is ongoing, but it cannot be brought to conclusion until the criminal proceedings are concluded.
