No decline in demand for scandal-hit Console’s services

There has not been a decline in demand for Console’s services following last Thursday’s Prime Time exposé on the charity’s financial affairs.

David Hall, CEO of the Irish Mortgage Holders Organisation, has been appointed by Console’s board to conduct an investigation into alleged financial irregularities at the suicide bereavement charity.

He told the Irish Examiner service users have not been put off asking for help as a result of the RTÉ programme and that people were continuing to phone the helpline seeking assistance.
