Charity watchdog seeks explanation over Irish republican funding claim

The UK's charity watchdog is demanding an explanation from the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust over claims that it gave £275,000 (approx. €308,000) to an organisation linked to a banned Irish republican group.
The Quaker trust's website shows a grant of £149,915(approx. €168,000) to Teach Na Failte in November 2014 and another of £125,000 (€140,000) in March last year.
