How can the board of CRC stand over the taking from Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic of half of the income raised from people countrywide for charitable purposes for use as payment of a settlement or pay-off for a former CEO? How can the board stand over that the same CEO implemented cuts under Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest legislation in respect of ordinary rank and file workers within CRC and did not apply them to himself?

The CRC, in terms of the work done by the Goulding family and Mr. Goulding's mother as the founding member, will continue. I appreciate the work being done by the CRC.

I really appreciate the work but as a board, how can it stand over this? There is €12 million in the friends and supporters bank account at any one time and the ordinary person may see it as nothing more than a lucky dip or slush fund for looking after the upper echelons and management in the Central Remedial Clinic, CRC.
