The Farrelly Commission, which commenced work on 15th May 2017, was established to investigate the care and protection of “Grace” (pseudonym) and others in a former foster home in the South East, which has been the subject of abuse allegations. The Farrelly Commission is a statutory Commission of Investigation and is independent in undertaking its functions under the legislation and its Terms of Reference.

Since its establishment, the Farrelly Commission has submitted a series of interim reports to the Minister for Health, six of which have been published on the Department’s website, and two Substantive Interim Reports have also been published. I hope to proceed with publishing the remaining interim reports in the near future.
