RTÉ Investigates: Christian Brothers - The Assets, The Abusers
RTÉ Investigates examines the Christian Brothers handling of their wealth and assets, as they continue to fail victims of abuse in a brand new documentary to air this Wednesday night on RTÉ One and RTE Player.
After last year's Scoping Inquiry predicted a vast scale of historical child sexual abuse in Irish schools, and recommended redress for victims, the Christian Brothers stood out, with the largest number of schools and the highest number of allegations.
Once powerful, the traditional educator of Catholic Irish boys, the Christian Brothers order is still one of the richest. Its aging trustees hold on to an extensive property portfolio and a significant stake in the present, and future, of Irish education.
As a new wave of victims prepare to seek justice for abuse suffered in schools, RTÉ Investigates reporter Rita O'Reilly examines what the Christian Brothers order owns, how it's handled property and school lands, and how convicted abusers previously helped manage its assets.
