A recent inspection by the Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) highlighted serious safety failures at Comeragh High Support Residential Services in Waterford, where residents with intellectual disabilities were not adequately protected from abuse. Allegations included one resident being inappropriately touched and another being tormented, with poor management oversight noted. The report criticized the organization’s safeguarding practices and highlighted concerns over residents’ privacy. In response, the provider committed to addressing these issues through its safeguarding policy and staff training.
