The Health Information and Quality Authority (Hiqa) inspected eight centers, finding widespread issues like mold, damp, and violence, particularly at Knockalisheen and Athlone centers. Some centers, like Dídean Portlaoise and Atlantic House, showed improvements in living conditions and compliance with national standards.
