Exceptional Funding of the Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Tony O'Brien:

In 2022, the trust raised €15 million, and in 2023, as a result of the things that emerged, not unreasonably, that fell to €5 million. The trust produced a deficit of €11 million that year. Some €10 million of that could have been avoided had fundraising been sustained and public confidence been maintained. I am not sure what the current year’s figure is.
