According to an internal inspection, undertaken by HSE auditors, on emergency, elective and day procedures at Tipperary University Hospital (TUH); a listing used to ensure HSE safe surgery is being followed, was not located in healthcare records. The failure was discovered following a random sample, taken of 15 patients, latter who had undergone surgical procedures at TUH, Clonmel, Co Tipperary, just last year.
The HSE audit report revealed that it could only provide limited assurance regarding the adequacy and effective governance relating to risk management and the internal control system, at the hospital, when it came to HSE strict policy on safe surgery.
HSE auditors had carried out a retrospective random sample on healthcare records of 15 patients out of a total of 96. Same had undergone surgery or an endoscopy at TUH, over a seven-day period in July 2024. Same audit was undertaken to check that planned surgery was clearly documented and that consent was obtained and recorded for each surgical procedure.
While, TUH had amalgamated aspects of the required checklist into its care plans, latter recommended in the HSE’s National Policy and Procedure for Safe Surgery; the audit found that the HSE’s actual checklist was not found in any medical records reviewed, in relation to the auditors random sample of 15 procedures which had been carried out on site within the hospital.
The report stated that there was a risk that variances between the hospital’s care plans and the official checklist “may result in sub-optimal implementation” of the HSE’s policy on safe surgery “with potential adverse consequences for patients.“
Among questions on the checklist which were not included in the HSE’s recommended care plan were:
(A) If the procedure had been confirmed with a parent or guardian in the case of children and if prophylactic antibiotics were required.
(B) Failure to check if a healthcare record number matched the number on the patient’s wristband or if protocols were in place if the patient suffered unexpected blood loss.
(C) TUH included some questions that were completed after an anaesthetic was administered, which should have been carried out beforehand under the rules as set out in the HSE checklist.
(D)TUH was unable to provide records about the number of medical staff who had completed a mandatory course on safe surgery.
The audit further concluded that recommended pre-surgery briefings among medical staff at TUH Clonmel, resembled “nursing huddles” as opposed to multidisciplinary briefings, of which not all members of the theatre team were found to be present at such meetings. The report also noted that non-attendance of key members could result in critical information not being properly transferred, thus resulting in potential harm to patients.
The HSE auditors issued a total of four recommendations, including that all components of the HSE’s checklist for safe surgery be incorporated into the relevant care plans at TUH, or, alternatively that the checklist be adopted as a standalone document by the hospital.
TUH management have now agreed to the implementation of all the recommendations conveyed by the HSE audit.

A new chapter for over 7,500 people who will be granted Irish Citizenship at the INEC Arena, Killarney, Co. Kerry.
Today and tomorrow over 7,500 people will be granted Irish citizenship at the INEC Killarney.
Applicants from over 143 countries and across all 32 counties on the island will make a declaration of fidelity and loyalty to the State and become Irish citizens.
Over seven ceremonies held over two days, Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, Mr Jim O’Callaghan will be joined by Minister of State with responsibility for Migration, Mr Colm Brophy, and Minister of State with responsibility for International Law, Law Reform and Youth Justice, Mr Niall Collins.
Speaking ahead of the ceremonies, Minister O’Callaghan said: “This ceremony marks an important milestone in the lives of those receiving Irish citizenship. For each new citizen it signifies a deep connection to Ireland, its values, and its people. Ireland welcomes our new citizens as full members of society, and their contributions will undoubtedly strengthen the fabric of our nation. I encourage all new citizens to continue to actively engage in their communities so that, together, we can build a thriving society”.
Minister Brophy said: “I congratulate our newest citizens and wish each of them well as they begin this new part of their lives. Migration plays an essential role in Ireland’s development. It strengthens our economy, enriches our cultural diversity, and deepens our sense of solidarity. We are proud to welcome each new citizen as valued members of our communities.”
Minister Collins said: “Those becoming Irish citizens over the next two days are joining a diverse and inclusive Ireland. Citizenship is not only a right but a symbol of shared responsibility and mutual trust. These new citizens now have a place in shaping the future of Ireland. I sincerely congratulate each of our new Irish citizens. This is a proud and memorable day for them, their families, and for the whole country.”
The Presiding Officer at the ceremonies over the next two days is Judge Mr Paddy McMahon, who will confer the attendees with Irish Citizenship. He will administer the Declaration of Fidelity to the Irish Nation and Loyalty to the State. The new Irish citizens will undertake to faithfully observe the laws of the State and to respect its democratic values.
In just over two years the Citizenship Division of the Department has gone from processing around 12,000 applications a year to processing over 20,000 applications in 2023, and nearly 31,000 in 2024.
Significant changes have been introduced in the Citizenship Division of the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration to speed up the application process for applicants, including the introduction of an online digital application, online payments, and eVetting. As a result, processing times are now decreasing year on year. The length of time it takes to process an application has dropped from 15 months in 2023 to 8 months in 2024.
It is expected that going forward, the vast majority of applicants will continue to receive a decision within one year, however, it is important to note that no two naturalisation applications are the same and some take longer than others to process.
More information on the application process is available at the following link: https://www.irishimmigration.ie/how-to-become-a-citizen/
