CORI leaders launch secular social justice group

TWO high-profile members of Conference of Religious of Ireland (CORI) – Fr Sean Healy and Sr Brigid Reynolds – are to head a new organisation called Social Justice Ireland.

Fr Healy disclosed yesterday that the publication of the Ryan report on institutional abuse had hastened the set-up of the new organisation.

Both Fr Healy and Sr Reynolds, directors of CORI Justice, went further than the organisation’s official response when they appeared before the Joint Committee on Social and Family Affairs last May.
