Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Francis Doherty:
The original motivation was to follow what Fr. McVerry set out, in that if you see a problem, you respond to it. However, to my mind, in later years that morphed into an unhealthy competition that seemed to be running between the organisation and other providers in the sector, which had a detrimental impact on the sector and services because the pricing of the services provided by the trust made it very difficult for other organisations to provide services.
