When will that horrible dump just close down..That team should, under no circumstances be allowed to work together “caring” for children..the hate that was fostered and encouraged and continues to be encouraged and stoked by poor excuses for managers, should be stopped now while there is this oppertunity..The idiots who Happily and Joyfully manipulate children should be banished to some inner city slum away from the vulnerable children. Also, I cant believe the continuing vapidity coming from the small band of clingers..No, actually I can.. Your posts are boring and if I was to grade them on substance and truth, I’d give you a fail..a big fat F..Let it go..move on..

PS Cormac, for the record, the young person was not invited for “a cup of tea”. Infact they were actually on abscond- no one invited them for a “cup of tea” or knew they were coming. Two of them turned up at the gates and thats all it was. Dont believe everything you are told while you are at home!

Cormac you previously stated on the 13th Jan that you would not be posting anymore comments to the site. Just couldn’t help yourself. Youre inuendo is not fooling anyone. Terry, now we have an issue with the DPP - who will we blame next, GOD? People are not concerned about the welfare of the kids anymore FACT, who are we trying to kid. That day is long gone. Instead everyone is caught up in the Ballydowd runour mill, the re-deployment, who’s going where, who’s managing what, how much will you get and so on. Stop playing the concerned citizens, we all know you’re not, it always has been and always will be about personal axes to grind which are concealed as concern for the welfare of the kids.

Terry I would say the perp and her sideicks used the manipulation tactic again with the young person, it was very recently the young person was invited back to the centre “for a cup of tea” and then afterwards personally driven off by a sidekick, manipulation, abuse of power, this abuse story is only the tip of the iceberg, when all the evidence is put together the real extent of the horrific management team will be reveled, one cannot dispute hard evidence no matter how much the poeple who HELPED cover up wished it go away. And “gemma” if telling the truth and highlighting abuse against vulnerable childeren constitutes as a vendatta i can only imagine that you yourself are a sidekick with something to cover-up or to personally gain from this. If the HSE attempt to put this director in a position of power over children no stone will be left unturned to highlight the injustice and hypocracy such of a decision. We should be thankful that there are many professional social care workers that have taken the ryan and murphy reports seriously and acted on hard evidence and not just turned a blind eye to cover-ups, there is hope.

AND THE COVER UP CONTINUES, THE CHARGES WERE DROPPED !!
WHY DO WE BOTHER TO CONCERN OURSELVES WITH CHILDREN IN CARE WHEN THE ABUSERS WALK FREE FROM THE COURTS, DUE TO INEPTITUDE OR LACK OF BALL’S BY THE DPP. WILL THE LAST PERSON TO LEAVE IRELAND LET OUT THE BATH-WATER IN CASE A CHILD DROWNS .

The charges against the Director have been dropped and rightly so, hopefully now individuals who have a vendetta against this person will stop and allow them to continue to respond to the the needs of vulnerable children without interference and attack.

Elizibeth you speak like a guardian angel, i feel you were very much manipulated and used by the perp, when the truth comes out you will be able to hear all the facts and im sure you will feel very used. And as for ANIETA you bring a lot of JOY to your story, it’s amaxing how people can change their views for personal gains, am i shocked, not in the slightest, I expect nothing less, let the perp and those who helped cover up this mess face the truth and FACTS for once……and those who are just preaching what they have been brainwashed into preaching do the hounorable thing.

No Anita I don’t think anyone wants blood. Abusing young people and a position of power can never be about trying to vilify an individual,it is what it is. Adults with such severe personal difficulties can not be left with the responsibility of caring for vulnerable young people in particular when they have been chraged with abuse.

I’m a freelance journalist/editor-type and sent an email to Maree looking for work. She seemed keen and enquired whether I could do interview-based articles. Does this mean the title is still alive?
