Take a seat.
The Central Remedial Clinic has admitted using charitable funds to top up the salaries of senior staff members.
In a statement today, the Dublin-based clinic confirmed that money was collected by a company linked to the organisation and used to pay top-up allowances to senior staff.
Nice.
Just be grateful Jimmy isn’t around to see this.
Meanwhile…
Labour TD for Dublin Mid West, Robert Dowds, said the reputation and fundraising capacity of the CRC would be damaged if it doesn’t immediately address the issue of funding and top up payments to staff.
On RTÉ’s Six One News, Mr Dowds said he would ask the CRC to come before the Public Accounts Committee and to end any topping up of salaries without delay.
He also said more information needed to be provided in relation to the source and use of the almost €14m fund held by Friends and Supporters of the Remedial Clinic.
€14m.
Just sitting there.
Being held.
