Sexual Abuse
Ministers met with Grace case inquiry to voice unhappiness with the pace of work and delays
Former minister says he is ‘horrified’ with the continuous delays of the inquiry.
The Grace case concerns a young woman with profound intellectual disabilities who was left in a foster home in the Waterford area for almost 20 years despite a succession of sexual and physical abuse allegations.
The latest six month extension means the final report will not be complete until September 2024, over five years beyond its original deadline.

Trump and Biden sweep Super Tuesday, all but cementing a November election rematch
Not enough states will have voted until later this month for either to formally become the nominee for their respective parties.
Trump's last major rival Nikki Haley won Vermont, denying the former US president a full sweep.
Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was packed for a victory party. “They call it Super Tuesday for a reason,” he told the crowd.
Biden issued a statement warning that yesterday's results had left Americans with a clear choice.
