Orders did not offer 46 most valuable sites

THE 46 most valuable education assets held by the religious orders were not offered to the state under a renegotiated redress deal in 2010.

Instead, the bulk of these high-value sites went to religious-based trusts.

The Sisters of Mercy, which held the largest asset portfolio of any of the orders named in the Ryan Report, had 117 school-related properties worth over €1 million.
