Panel to assess statements from religious orders

The Government has established a three-person panel to assess the statements of resources submitted by religious orders named in the Ryan Report into institutional child abuse.

The Government has established a three-person panel to assess the statements of resources submitted by religious orders named in the Ryan Report into institutional child abuse.

The orders have agreed to an audit of their finances to see what more they can contribute towards the victims of the widespread abuse revealed in the report.

They have already agreed to hand over around €128m as part of a compensation indemnity deal with the Government.

However, this will only cover around 10% of the estimated cost of compensation payouts.

The new three-person panel, which is chaired by former Revenue boss Frank Daly, will report to the Government on the adequacy of the statements provided by the religious orders as a basis for assessing their resources.
