Lughnasa Healy-Rae Nua @t4rbh.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Thank you for sharing your story. I had dealings with Sarto in a previous life. I'm curious why you think a CPO wouldn't be in the interests of a fair investigation? The state has belatedly shown (as in Tuam) that it can properly carry out the needed work when there's enough public pressure. 121
