'She's happy and living a meaningful life' - solicitor responsible for 'Grace' meets Norma Foley after concerns raised about report
Briefly

Marie-Claire Butler, the General Solicitor for Minors, oversees Grace's legal and personal affairs, ensuring her well-being. Following meetings with minister Norma Foley, Ms Butler emphasized that her extensive legal submissions to the Commission of Investigation were not included in the final report. This omission raises concerns about future investigations involving people with disabilities. The government has funded Grace's legal representation, allowing her settlement to remain unaffected. Ms Butler's unprecedented statement aims to clarify these matters in the public interest and highlight the need for accountability in such investigations.
Grace's legal representation at the Commission of Investigation was financed by the relevant Government departments, ensuring her legal settlement remained intact.
Before the publication of the Farrelly Commission's final report, Grace's legal team made extensive submissions that were ultimately omitted from the report.
