This is the crux of the issue. RTÉ uncovered what it did because the reporters were undercover. Nobody knew who they were and they witnessed first-hand the behaviour towards residents in these nursing homes. For HIQA to really fulfil its role, it has to carry out the same type of tactics as RTÉ. What needs to happen for HIQA to be able to go in undercover and witness first-hand what is happening? What needs to change for this to happen?
