TD calls for inquiry into Right of Place

THE Controller and Auditor General must investigate how funds given to a Cork-based charity for survivors of institutional abuse were spent, Labour TD Sean Sherlock has said.

Mr Sherlock said there were “too many glaring inconsistencies” in relation to the organisation, Right of Place, which has received millions of euro in taxpayers’ money over the past 10 years.

The organisation is currently at the centre of a power struggle between its founder, Noel Barry, and a new committee seeking to take over the running of the charity.
