Concerns over Scientology company

Auditors for the loss-making Irish Church of Scientology have raised concerns over the viability of the company behind the church here.

Dublin-based Kilcoyne & Co Accountants have raised concerns in relation to the Church of Scientology Mission of Dublin Ltd in spite of the company increasing its revenues sharply last year to €86,716.

The global church counts movie stars Tom Cruise and John Travolta as some of its best-known members. The Irish church was previously bailed out to the tune of €326,875 when a loan provided to the Church of Scientology here was forgiven by Churches of Scientology overseas.
