Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Rosemarie Tobin:

I will take that question. We had been working with the oversight group since the exceptional funding was provided back in 2023. As has been said, the trust was reporting to us on a monthly basis on those conditions. When the regulatory reports came out first in October and then, in December, the reports of the Charities Regulator and the AHBRA, it was clear that there were still governance issues and issues of non-compliance. In speaking to AHBRA and the Charities Regulator, we agreed as an oversight group that it was necessary to have experts to go into the organisation and to look at these issues to give comfort to the oversight group that the conditions were being met and that it was moving towards compliance. That was very much done in conjunction with AHBRA.
