Emeis Ireland has taken appropriate safeguarding actions for residents at two of its nursing homes.
An RTE investigates programme uncovered neglect at The Residence in Portlaoise and Beneavin Manor in Dublin.
Emeis Ireland says it's co-operating fully with all regulatory and statutory bodies after an RTE Investigates programme showed examples of care failings towards residents.
Undercover footage of two of its nursing homes revealed multiple cases of neglect.
Emeis Ireland has confirmed HIQA and the HSE have visited Beneavin Manor and The Residence Portlaoise and it's engaging with these agencies.
It's describing the footage which aired on the RTE Investigates programme as both shocking and unacceptable and unquestionably equated to poor and abusive practice.
It's taking steps to ensure the immediate safety of all residents, is strengthening safeguarding systems, improving staff training and competence and is tackling a culture of fear or poor reporting.
