Quinn urges CRC board to step down

Education Minister Ruairí Quinn has called for the board of the Central Remedial Clinic to quit as the controversy over the use of public donations to top-up the salaries of well-paid managers escalates.

Deputy Labour leader Joan Burton said the lavish salaries at the disability organisation were beyond even what the Taoiseach earned and that the charity needed to clarify how its funds were used.

Speaking on RTÉ Radio, Mr Quinn said the situation was “unacceptable” and the board should step down.
