Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Francis Doherty:

At the time it was not clear. It prompted me to ask a finance employee for copies of the Capuchin donation account - the ledger. That ledger showed that money had been transferred out on 16 December to a related entity that the Peter McVerry Trust had taken over, the Assisi charity - the Assisi CLG. Once I realised that was where the money went, I asked the same finance employee for a copy of the ledger for Assisi CLG. It showed up immediately, having received that money, that Assisi transferred the funds to two entities, Rubycon and New Directions.
