Glad to see our FM has asked for this to be investigated and the results communicated directly to her.

I find the fact that she  is figuratively gagged about being literally gagged disturbing. That this happened 8 years ago and hasn't been dealt with shows a systemic failing.

Agreed.

This is from the original report:

Since her father's death in November 2016, Ms Fitzpatrick has been signed off from work.
It is unclear whether her alleged attackers ever faced disciplinary action but Ms Fitzpatrick herself faces a disciplinary hearing from her employers at the end of May.
