Sherlock demands statement on Right of Place group

THE Health Service Executive must make a statement on the running of a state-funded group for survivors of institutional abuse, according to a Cork TD.

Sean Sherlock said serious questions surround the structure and governance of Cork-based group Right of Place, which has received millions of euro in government funding since 2002. He said he intends to raise the issue in the Dáil after the Christmas holidays.

Right of Place, one of the country’s largest support groups for survivors of institutional abuse, has been asked by the HSE to clarify the state of its finances.
