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 Southeast, 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.

There are two interim reports not published which I hope to proceed to publish in the near future. All other interim reports are available on the Departments website.
