Imelda Munster (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I wish to raise the issue of social and health care services for people who have an intellectual disability, particularly in light of the financial misappropriations at St. John of God's in Drumcar where residents had money taken from their personal bank accounts to purchase medical supplies that St. John of God's should have purchased. One resident also had his own personal bank account raided to purchase cutlery, soft furnishings and a fireplace for the St. John of God's. Given the apparent lack of oversight, or any scrutiny at all by the HSE, despite the fact that millions upon millions of euro in public money is paid into this service, will the Taoiseach give a commitment to publish the audit of St. John of God's that is currently being carried out in the interests of transparency and because it is funded with public money?
