The harrowing programme recently uncovered a litany of care failings and neglect of vulnerable older residents at The Residence Portlaoise, in Co Laois, and Beneavin Manor, in Glasnevin, Dublin.

Both are run by Ireland’s top private nursing home provider Emeis Ireland, which has apologised for the failings.

There were 40 notifications of allegations of abuse at The Residence Portlaoise since December 2023.
