Dublin, Tuesday, 21 November 2017. On Sunday, November 19th 2017, St Patrick’s Mental Health Services (SPMHS) issued a press release in which the organisation stated that no allegations, complaints or concerns had been made to SPMHS by service users or staff in respect of Mr Porter, and encouraged the reporting of any such allegations to the Garda Siochana and to SPMHS.
