A senior Tusla manager has been struck off the social workers’ professional register by the High Court.
The Irish Times reported today that the dismissal is over his handling of what a judge was told was a catastrophic error leading to false sexual abuse allegations against Sgt Maurice McCabe. Gerard Lowry was the Cavan-Monaghan Tusla area manager who failed to pick up on the error that led to the false allegation.
A second social worker, who was a team leader in the case, was suspended from the social workers’ register over her failures related to the same case. The court heard yesterday that both have since retired from Tusla and both did not contest the High Court hearings.
