Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Fergal O'Leary:
What I can say is two things. First, the trust itself is responsible for being compliant with our regulations. It is our view that it is not. What do we do about that? We have been quite proactive and constructive in terms of assisting the trust to be as compliant as possible. We were aware there were a number of parallel processes going on with the Charities Regulator, the Dublin Region Homeless Executive and the Department itself. We have had numerous meetings since the publication of our inspector's report last December to make sure there is alignment between what we are asking for, what the Charities Regulator is asking for and what the Department is asking for. We are starting to see the benefit of that as the trust moves towards compliance.
