Oireachtas Committee urges Peter McVerry Trust to rethink decision to delay appearance

The Peter McVerry Trust was last year subject to what it called "a serious cashflow problem".

Members of the Oireachtas Housing Committee have called for the Peter McVerry Trust to appear before it next week.

The charity was last year subject to what it called "a serious cashflow problem", leading to a €15m bailout being agreed by government in November. That money was conditional on the implementation of significant reform and the trust has undertaken to put in place improved budgetary and management processes.
