JUDGE GIVES HSE TWO WEEK DEADLINE TO CARE FOR TROUBLED TEEN

Date Published: 16-Nov-2012

A Circuit Court Judge has given the HSE two weeks to compile a written report of its proposals to provide a regime of continuing care for a brain-damaged teenager who terrorised several young women by attempting to rob them in Salthill last year.

Judge Gerard Griffin last week said it was amazing how the HSE could claim it had limited funding for crucial services and yet had no problem in paying €800 an hour to legal teams to represent it in court.
