Internal checks raised alarm, with some Garda vetting documentation supplied by the company supposedly clearing staff to care for young people. The controversy prompted the company to order fresh Garda vetting for all staff. “Staff members that no Garda vetting disclosure was supplied for were immediately removed,” a senior HSE manager in the region wrote.

A spokeswoman said they related to “the validity of staff listings and Garda vetting”.
