Fergus Finlay, Chair of the Christine Buckley Foundation, which provides support services for survivors of institutional abuse in Ireland told RTÉ Investigates: "The public should own these assets, every single one of them.

"They were given to an order that had taken a vow of poverty, and they were given for the purposes of education."
