Summary

In September 2020 the High Court heard a case brought by residents, employees and families of St Mary's Centre (Telford), a south Dublin nursing home and disability centre owned by the Sisters of Charity. The centre had been placed under provisional liquidation in July after the court found it could not meet €950,000 redundancy payments and could not comply with HIQA modernisation recommendations. The applicants now seek to have the company placed into examinership, arguing that an independent expert report shows the centre could survive as a going concern if an examiner tests the waters for a potential investor. The court scheduled a hearing for the examinership application later that month, to be heard in the presence of all interested parties. The provisional liquidators and the company opposed the application, citing licensing issues, insurance lapses, resignations of senior management and the fact that most residents had already been relocated.
