‘No record’ of how Cork charity spent state funds

THERE is no “record or evidence” of how anyone except a select inner circle benefited over a 10-year period in which the State was funding an organisation for survivors of institutional abuse, it has been claimed.

Right of Place in Cork, which has been in crisis since last year following revelations that donated money was not filtering down to members, has been funded to the tune of at least €2.4 million by the HSE since 2002, with a further €1m coming from the Department of Education.

These figures do not include unknown amounts from religious orders.
