Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

However, as a result of verbal abuse received by telephone from Ms O'Hara, the case manager resigned. Following his resignation, Ms O'Hara visited his house and was asked to leave by the case manager's spouse. However, Ms O'Hara returned and this violation of privacy has had a further distressing impact on the staff member whose family and home have now been inappropriately involved in the service issue.

The Meath disability service awaits proposals from Enable Ireland in respect of the case management function together with the multidisciplinary team interventions, but recent communications from the family indicate they do not consider Enable Ireland to be appropriate providers of the case management function.
