Management at the Mater Hospital are investigating how a convicted child abductor managed to pass Garda vetting and get a job at the hospital.
Despite convictions abroad for sexual corruption and abduction of a child and a five-year jail sentence for possessing child abuse material, Constantin Maxim, 48, had passed Garda vetting and started working as a cleaner at the hospital, the Independent reports.
A spokeswoman for the Mater told Dublin Live that Mr Maxim "was not employed directly by the hospital and we were not aware of the details of this case". She continued: "However, we can confirm that the company in which he was employed had followed all processes required for any individual to work onsite at the Mater, including Garda vetting.
