Admissions at the Residence in Portlaoise remain closed following revelations of malpractice.
The CEO of HIQA admits she's never seen anything worse in her career, than what was broadcast in TV exposé about nursing homes last month.
16 out of the 25 homes run by Emeis Ireland have been inspected, after footage revealed poor standards of care for residents in both the Residence in Portlaoise, and Beneavin Manor in Dublin.
Admissions to all relevant homes have since been paused.
HIQA CEO Angela Fitzgerald says it's clear more regulation is needed, after viewing the programme:
