Revealed: The €20m gap in CRC funding

Three quarters of the €27.856m donated to the charity wing of the Central Remedial Clinic between 1998 and 2011 was not sent on to the facility.

The latest controversy to hit the under-fire disability organisation was uncovered after an extensive Irish Examiner trawl of company documents, and comes as growing calls are made for the entire board to resign.

Annual account details of the Friends and Supporters of the CRC charity foundation — audited by Ernst & Young and available from the Company Registrations Office — show that, from 1998 to 2011, the group received €27.856m in donations.
