Commission inspection reports cited by HSE in decision to close Owenacurra and move 19 residents to other settings considerable distances away

Pat Buckley, TD said the HSE had “spun” the situation “to blame the commission for Owenacurra’s closure”.

Mr Farrelly said the commission had never contacted the HSE about what use they made of their reports, and would “have to think” about corresponding with them on it. She told Mr Farelly the commission should have provided the committee with “evidence” in advance of the meeting of the reasons it could not discuss Owenacurra.

Ms Cairns said the commission had been very critical when rights were infringed in other centres but had been “silent and not inclined to take action” on the moving of Owenacurra residents from their community.“You obviously have a view and that’s your view,” replied Mr Farrelly.

Husband concerned for wife day before stabbingChristina Anderson's husband called his wife's psychiatric clinic due to concerns he had about her mental health the day before she stabbed a man to death, the Central Criminal Court has heard. Wow. The doctor was supposed to be medical expert, and when the husband called with serious concerns the doctor was supposed to recognize the seriousness, not the husband. So husband wasn’t ‘happy to wait’ one more day, but relied on the supposed medical authority. If she were a man, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Look at how a senior paediatrician escaped justice. The HSE weren’t going to have one of its senior female officers labelled a child serial killer. Justice is screaming from the graves. Blame everyone else shite again.
