Fr Peter McVerry has said his resignation as secretary of the Peter McVerry Trust was not in any way connected to the €15m State bailout of the charity.

Despite stepping down as board secretary after more than 40 years last week, Fr McVerry says he “remains committed” to the housing and homeless organisation which he established back in 1983.
