Abuse survivors call for Gardaí to probe charity

SURVIVORS of institutional abuse have asked the Taoiseach to instruct the HSE to discontinue funding a Cork-based charity for victims – and let Gardaí step in and investigate it.

The organisation Right of Place has been under scrutiny since late last year after the HSE ordered that it urgently answer questions in relation to how it was spending its money.

One of the country’s largest survivor groups, it has received millions in Government funding since 2002 and continues to receive money.
