Right of Place - Taxpayer is the latest abuse victim

The Cork-based charity for victims of institutional abuse, Right of Place, has been engaged in massive infighting to the extent that it is not serving the best interests of those for whom it was supposedly established.

Instead, it appears to be preoccupied with allegations of bullying, unfair dismissal and assault.

Lawyers preparing to take abuse cases against Right of Place suggest that it should be closed down in order to get to the root of the organisation’s difficulties. It ought to be serving the interests of victims of institutional abuse, but the organisation seems more intent on institutionalising new forms of abuse, not the least of which is the abuse of Irish taxpayers.
