To All Interested Parties
Right Of Place is registered as a charity but runs itself as a private company.
Accounts ending 2010, prove again how far they have fallen or risen depending on the moral and financial fibre of the optics involved.
That year they received €423,850 on duplicate funding from the HSE and the Department of Education and still is a mystery as to why. A spokesman for the HSE states (every year) that they are investigating Right OF Place, yet they still received €260,000 from the Government in 2011.
Over 34 million euro has been given to other
survivors’ groups in total; Right Of Place though tops them all in terms of absurdity. Almost none of this money ever reached survivors except choice morsels to keep a select few followers on board to help give the appearance of legitimacy. This is always the real tragedy.
Right Of Place claimed to have visited 1000 people in their own homes; to represent over 1500 survivors; to have been contacted 5,393 times last year alone, yet it said last year: ‘it had no idea where over 3 million
euro of taxpayers money had gone, who gave them personal donations, or who they ever actually even helped. They also received lottery funding and strong
armed religious organizations such as: The Sisters Of Mercy, Brothers Of Charity, The Sisters Of Charity, the Rosminians and others for more money.
When a nun named Maris Mc Guinness from
St Columbus Convent in Cork asked them what happened to the €20,000 her order gave them, she never even got a reply. The gross amount of these personal donations alone is close to €300,000, and yet still, this Right Of Place rumbles on and corrupts too the real sincerity and honesty of Institutional survivors’ pain and suffering.
Tom Cronin, a founding member of Right Of Place in 1999, has been calling for Government investigation into its affairs from 2006 and has been met with largely deaf ears ever since. What is now at stake is the Statutory Funding and Right of Place sees this as their next meal
ticket, as well do many other survivor group leaders who only lead and feed themselves. The question now is: what are you going to do about it?
To help you, please leave your details here or
nominate a third party of contact. We are here only to make sure that this never happens again, and we all get to go home with a little more currency in our pocket that reflects justice. Reflective compensation is our right and guilt only ever should belong to those who abused us; which includes the predatory nature of a select unsavoury minority group who have mandated themselves to speak for us. Let us now voice ourselves with a chorus of loud outrage or forever be weak from bitter outraged silence that falls only on deaf ears.
