Gardai say a file has been prepared for the DPP.
The HSE says Gardai have asked the health service not to publish a report into sexual abuse at one of its care facilities in Co. Donegal, while its investigation continues.
According to the Irish Times, the Brandon report details how 'devastating' abuse was carried out on mainly non-verbal adults by another resident between 2003 and 2016.
The unpublished report also highlights a 'common strategy' of moving the perpetrator around, which gave him access to new victims.
Gardai say a file has been prepared for the DPP.
Chief Operations Officer with the HSE, Anne O'Connor, says they can't publish the report right now
The most common response to the alleged abuse was to move the now deceased former resident around various wards, the report says. “Brandon [a pseudonym] was moved … nine times in the ... period of this review.”https://t.co/yMuHC8SkNK

Gardai say a file has been prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions in relation to sexual abuse at a Donegal care centre.
An unpublished report has found a number of residents at the HSE-run facility suffered "sustained abuse" over a 13-year period.
