The devastated daughter of a man who died from Covid-19 in one of the nursing homes worst hit by the virus has accused Health Minister Stephen Donnelly of breaking his promise to investigate what happened.
And Emma Duffy claimed Mr Donnelly is forcing families to do the State’s job and investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths of 24 patients at Dealgan nursing home.
Ms Duffy said that her father Oliver fell ill with a kidney infection in the home and claims that no doctor attended him until three days later.
