Owners of creche in RTÉ probe earn €350k in two years

The two creche owners behind the Dublin firm that was at the centre of an RTÉ investigation alleging mistreatment of children have paid themselves a total of €350,000 over the past two years.

In 2013, the Links Abington creche in Malahide was the subject of the RTÉ Prime Time: Breach of Trust programme.

In 2015, the firm that operates the creche, Links Creche & Montessori Ltd, was fined €1,000 at Dublin District Court after pleading guilty to eight charges pertaining to incidents which occurred on eight different dates across February and March 2013. The court heard that a toddler was “shouted at” after she soiled herself.
