One month before Chrissie Treacy died the Health Service Executive notified gardaí about concerns for Ms Treacy's welfare arising out of ongoing difficulties she was having with her nephew Michael Scott over land, the Central Criminal Court has heard.
Ann Gardner today told Dean Kelly SC, for the prosecution, that she is the area manager for Family Carers Ireland which provided home care to Ms Treacy from 2016 until her death. Among those she sent the form to were Concepta Birmingham, a home help coordinator with the HSE, and Freda Quinlan, a team leader in the safeguarding team for the HSE West.
In December that year, Ms Quinlan was contacted by Concepta Birmingham who raised concerns about Ms Treacy's ongoing difficulties with her nephew and resulting concerns she had for Ms Treacy's welfare. Ms Quinlan said she had already been in touch with Sgt Gerard Cleary but the notification put that contact on a more formal footing.
Freda Quinlan confirmed to Ms Birmingham at the end of May 2017 that a safeguarding plan had been put in place in relation to Ms Treacy. In December that year Ms Birmingham spoke to Ms Quinlan about changing the sequence of responders on Ms Treacy's personal alarm, which she wore around her neck. The first person to be contacted in the new sequence was Ms Donohue.
