The District Court, sitting at Dungarvan, County Waterford on 30 April 2012, heard the withdrawal of the appeals pursuant to Section 57 of the Health Act 2007 by the registered provider of St. Anne’s Nursing Home, Cashel, Co. Tipperary.

The appeals were against the decisions of the Acting Chief Inspector of Social Services of the Authority to:
