Honestly, why should anyone trust charities at this point? A CEO handing out favours to a mate while running a homeless charity that later needed a massive state bailout is beyond grim. It’s always the same story: weak oversight, cosy relationships, and zero consequences. Meanwhile ordinary people donate in good faith. Here, it’s just another scandal.

Surely the lease can be shown to be void given it is outside what the service is funded for, why is his rent still being covered by tax payers?

There are around 12,000 “charities” in Ireland. Most of them do the same thing as many other charities. There are supposed to be over 100 charities all claiming to be working on homelessness. Thats 100 CEOs many of them pulling in a 6 figure salary, car and expenses.
We need to streamline the Charity industry (because industry is now what it is) and force all these “charities” to merge so that more of the money can be spent on helping people not perks and mercs.

Ah shure everyone knows we are a wink wink nation. No harm done if you don’t look too closely!! 🙄
Sad thing is those that try to out this behaviour are black balled. Doesn’t pay to whistleblow

Take this as you will.
My partner worked in HSE for 20 years.
She told me all these charities are just setup to shift legal liability and cases they don’t want to deal with to someone else. Every government department that deals with people has them.
HSE has the likes of bluebird etc
Housing has focus, Simon etc
When they don’t want to deal with someone they spend huge amounts of tax payers money to send them over.
If an addict destroys a council house, causes hassle on streets and any other issues they get sent to focus to be housed
As she said Focus will house the man who destroyed the family and council will house the woman and kids.
It costs twice as much to house an addict as it does a single mother with kids.
Focus house mainly male addicts likely to cause lots of issues with neighbours yet look at their advertising campaign it’s all women and kids apparently.
If someone in need of constant round the clock care is causing the HSE lots of issues like sexually abusing carers etc they get sent to bluebird, home instead etc and they just keep hiring canon fodder to look after them. Grads and single mothers to be sent in and end up giving up on career with stress.
There’s people in care homes that need a nurse and 2 carers 24 hours. They will end up with night shifts of just one minimum wage carer looking after them but company gets paid for 3 people. No oversight. Never found out. Lots of cases in UK of companies caught doing this already.
Do not ever give money to any of these “charities”
The best one I see was when a focus Ireland manager pulled up on a brand new Audi Q8.
Mark my words someone will investigate all this one day and it’ll be a scandal.

Peter McVerry was (is?) still on the board of the charity and gives his name to it.
I’ve heard a lot of people giving him the benefit of the doubt but I think that’s being generous.
He wouldn’t exactly be the first priest that acts holier than thou that ends up being found to be wanting.
