CORI to audit religious-owned properties
07/10/2003 - 12:35:59The Conference of Religious of Ireland (CORI) says it is urgently examining ways to conduct an audit of properties.
The congregations attached to CORI will carry out the review so the public will be aware of the situation.
A statement said it had decided to carry out the audit some time ago as part of CORI's preparation for planned changes in charity law.
However, it is understood that when the assets are audited it will shed new light on whether 18 congregations can afford to pay more to the compensation deal for victims of child abuse in religious institutions.
