Report on cut in funding to Grace case whistleblowers agency delayed.

Report on cut in funding to Grace case whistleblowers agency delayed.

A HSE-commissioned report into claims that officials drained resources from the Grace sex abuse whistleblowers will not be published until at least the end of August.

The Irish Examiner has learned that the report into serious concerns over sudden funding cuts to the South East based agency the whistleblowers worked for between 2009 and 2016 is continuing to face ongoing delays.

The report is understood to outline how up to 600,000 euro in HSE funding was cut from the agency in the years after the whistleblowers raised the Grace case concerns.

The Deloitte report was commissioned by the HSE director general, Tony O’Brien who at a PAC meeting in June said it would be somewhat hollow to apologise to the whistleblower until the full facts emerge.
