The commission of investigation was established eight years ago. The final report, published yesterday, made no findings that she had experienced sexual or emotional abuse while living with the foster family over a 20-year period.

Councillors reviewed 230 submissions made on the plan, many of which related to the zoning of individual plots of land as residential. Dozens of submissions made on the draft area plan requested that certain lands be zoned residential, and councillors repeatedly requested the council to zone these lands. However, zoning land for one-off rural housing and out-of-town/village housing developments is in direct contravention of the position taken by the Office of the Planning Regulator which has oversight in this area.

"Meas agus dínit" ag dul do thaisí Inis Bó Finne. People in Inisboffin have welcomed the news that Trinity College is to return to the island the remains of people who were taken from a cemetery, without consent, in the 19th Century. Tá fáilte curtha ag daoine in Inis Bó Finne roimh an scéala go bhfuil Coláiste na Tríonóide le taisí daoine a tógadh as reilig, gan toiliú, sa 19ú Céad a tabhairt ar ais go dtí an t-oileán. But the locals want to ensure that the remains are treated with respect and dignity. Ach tá muintir na háite ag iarraidh a chinntiú go gcaithfear leis na taisí, le meas agus dínit. In 1890 the heads were stolen from the cemetery of St. Colmáin Monastery. Sa mbliain 1890 a goideadh na cloigne as reilig Mhainistir Naomh Colmáin. Two from Trinity College who undertook the raid - Professor Alfred Haddon and researcher Andrew Dixon - from the University's Department of Anatomy. Beirt as Coláiste na Tríonóide a thug faoin gcreachadh - an tOllamh Alfred Haddon agus an taighdeoir Andrew Dixon - ó Roinn Anatamaíochta na hOllscoile. In a letter written by Professor Haddon he has admitted that he smuggled the heads off the island - 13 of them - to be deposited in the College. I litir a scríobh an tOll Haddon tá sé admhaithe aige gur smuggláil sé na cloigne den oileán - 13 acu - le cur i dtaisce sa gColáiste. There was plenty of time to take bodies for the sake of so-called "scientific study" - to take measurements and study shells - as shown in this photograph taken on Ennisboffine in 1893. Bhí fairsing ag an am coirp a thógáil ar mhaithe adúradh "leis an staidéar eolaíoch" - le ghabhail ag tomhais agus ag staidéar blaoscanna – mar a léirítear sa ngrianghraif seo a tarraingníodh ar Inis Bó Finne in 1893. Now the head of the University, Provost Linda Doyle has apologized to the people of the island. Anois tá ceann feádhain na hOllscoile, an Probhast Linda Doyle théis leithscéal a ghabháil le muíntir an oileáin. Trinity College says they are grateful to the island community for "their lobbying and participation" and that they will "cooperate with the community to return the remains respectfully, respectfully." Deir Coláiste na Tríonóide go bhfuil siad buíoch do phobal an oileáin as "a gcuid stocaireachta agus rannpháirtíochta" agus go mbeidh siad "ag comhoíbriú leis an bpobal leis na taisí a chur siar abhaile go measúil, ómósach." But the remains of nearly 500 people are still kept at the University and a review process about those bodies is still underway by the Trinity Heritage Working Group. Ach tá taisí beagnach 500 duine fós coinnithe san Ollscoil agus próiséas athbhreithníthe faoi na coirp sin fós idir lámha ag Grúpa-Oibre Oídhreachta na Tríonóide. Today's topic is a story, so researchers say, but the work is not finished and shells are still kept that were taken from Arran and Glenn in South Kerry. Deáscéala é ábhar an lae inniu mar sin a deir lucht taighde ach níl an obair críochnaithe agus blaoscanna fós coinnithe a tógadh as Árainn agus as an nGleann i gCiarraí Theas.

Tá fianaise shoiléir ann go ndearnadh dochar suntasach do 46 páiste mar gheall ar an saghas cúraim mheabhairshláinte a cuireadh ar fáil dóibh i gCo Chiarraí, a deirtear i dtuarascáil a foilsíodh inniu. This relates to the review of mental health services provided by the Health Service Executive to over 1,300 children in South Kerry over a number of years. Baineann an scéal leis an athbhreithniú a rinneadh ar na seirbhísí meabhairshláinte a chuir Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte ar fáil do bhreis agus 1,300 páiste i gCiarraí Theas le roinnt blianta. The review also states that 227 children were at risk because of their diagnosis and the type of care provided to them by a junior doctor. Maítear san athbhreithniú chomh maith go raibh 227 páiste i mbaol mar gheall ar an diagnóis a rinne dochtúir sóisearach orthu agus mar gheall ar an saghas cúraim a chuir an dochtúir sin ar fáil dóibh. The review was initiated in April last year after a number of people expressed concern about the doctor's work. Tionscnaíodh an t-athbhreithniú san Aibreán anuraidh tar éis do roinnt daoine tabhairt le fios go raibh imní orthu faoi obair an dochtúra. The doctor did not participate in the review and his / her name is not given in the report. Níor ghlac an dochtúir páirt san athbhreithniú agus ní thugtar a (h)ainm sa tuarascáil. The doctor was employed for five years by Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, a division of the Health Service Executive. Bhí an dochtúir fostaithe ar feadh cúig bliana ag Seirbhísí Meabhairshláinte do Leanaí agus d'Ógánaigh, rannóg de chuid Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte. The Executive has apologized to the families of the 227 children involved. Tá leithscéal gafa ag an bhFeidhmeannacht le muintreacha an 227 leanbh atá i dtreis. The 46 children who were significantly harmed are said to have gained a lot of weight, developed high blood pressure and have been sedentary during the day while in the care of the Executive. Maidir leis an 46 leanbh a ndearnadh dochar suntasach dóibh, deirtear gur chuir siad suas go leor meáchain, gur tháinig ardbhrú fola orthu agus gur támhaíodh iad i rith an lae agus iad faoi chúram na Feidhmeannachta. The report also highlights oversight in the mental health service in South Kerry. Tarraingítear aird sa tuarascáil freisin ar chúrsaí maoirseachta sa tseirbhís mheabhairshláinte i gCiarraí Theas. It is said that the junior doctor was supervised by the service's consultant psychiatrist, who did not notice the problems that arose during the years 2017 and 2018. Deirtear nár thug síciatraí comhairleach na seirbhíse a bhí ag déanamh maoirseachta ar an dochtúir sóisearach, nár thug sé / sí faoi deara na fadhbanna a tháinig chun cinn i gcaitheamh na mblianta 2017 agus 2018. No evidence was found that those problems were addressed even though they were highlighted in 2018, it is said. Níor aimsíodh aon fhianaise go ndeachthas i ngleic leis na fadhbanna sin cé gur tarraingíodh aird orthu in 2018, a deirtear. Not only that but in addition, in 2020, the junior doctor was recommended for other positions. Ní amháin sin ach lena chois, in 2020, moladh an dochtúir sóisearach do phoist eile.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/ycyh5t9t National audit of promised mental health services. Iniúchadh náisúnta ar sheirbhísí meabhairshláinte geallta. Taoiseach Micheál Martin told the Dáil that the report published today on mental health services for young people in Co Kerry is extremely serious. Dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin sa Dáil go bhfuil an tuarascáil a foilsíodh inniu maidir le seirbhísí meabhairshláinte do dhaoine óga i gCo Chiarraí thar a bheith tromchúiseach. The Taoiseach noted the need for a radical review of youth mental health services across the country in the light of the report. Thug an Taoiseach le fios gur theastaigh athbhreithniú ó bhonn ar sheirbhísí meabhairshláinte don aos óg ar fud na tíre i bhfianaise na tuarascála. The report is a serious criticism of the care provided in South Kerry, he said. Tromcháineadh ar an gcúram a chuirtear ar fáil i gCiarraí Theas atá sa tuarascáil, a dúirt sé. Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services - a division of the Health Service Executive - provided care for the adults in Kerry and Micheál Martin confirmed that the services they provide will be fully audited throughout the country. Seirbhísí Meabhairshláinte do Leanaí agus d'Ógánaigh - rannóg de chuid Fheidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte - a chuir an cúram ar fáil do na haosánaigh i gCiarraí agus dhearbhaigh Micheál Martin go ndéanfar iniúchadh iomlán ar na seirbhísí a sholáthraíonn siad ar fud na tíre go léir. The Taoiseach was responding to Róisín Shortall from the Social Democrats who said that what was in the report was appalling. Ag tabhairt freagra a bhí an Taoiseach ar Róisín Shortall ó na Daonlathaithe Sóisialta a dúirt go raibh an méid a bhí sa tuarascáil uafásach. She also believes that the report casts doubt on the management of the Health Service Executive. Dar léi chomh maith go gcaitheann an tuarascáil amhras ar an mbainistíocht i bhFeidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte. After all, she said, a whistleblower left the organization because he received no support and was given a backlash when he drew attention to the bad work. Tar éis an tsaoil, a dúirt sí, d'éirigh sceithire as an eagraíocht mar nach bhfuair sé aon tacaíocht agus gur tugadh cúl droma dó nuair a tharraing sé aird ar an drochobair. Róisín Shortall also said that a national audit is needed as it all too often happens that managers try to silence whistleblowers instead of encouraging them to tell their story. Dúirt Róisín Shortall chomh maith go bhfuil iniúchadh náisiúnta ag teastáil mar go dtarlaíonn sé rómhinic go bhféachann bainisteoirí le sceithirí a chur ina dtost in áit iad uchtach a thabhairt dóibh a scéal a nochtadh. The Taoiseach replied that he is open-minded about what is needed to address the issue. D''fhreagair an Taoiseach go bhfuil intinn oscailte aige i leith a bhfuil ag teastáil le dul i ndréim leis an gceist. He believes, he said, that all aspects of the story should be explored, including the issue of whistleblowers. Creideann sé, a dúirt sé, gur cheart gach gné den scéal a iniúchadh, ceist na sceithirí san áireamh. Micheál Martin also said that it is very important to make sure that parents are not to blame. Dúirt Micheál Martin freisin go bhfuil sé an-tábhachach a dhearbhú nach bhfuil aon mhilleán ar thuismitheoirí. 46 children in mental health care harmed Dochar déanta do 46 páiste a bhí faoi chúram meabhairshláinte
