RTÉ documentary examines the Christian Brothers handling of their wealth and assets

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.

The Scoping Inquiry predicted a vast scale of historical child sexual abuse in Irish schools, and recommended redress for victims, The Christian Brothers had the largest number of schools and allegations.

As victims prepare to seek justice for abuse suffered in schools, this documentary will show victims as they prepare to seek justice for abuse suffered in schools and how abusers manage their assets.

Robin Mandal, former President of the Royal Institute of Architects said: "I'm surprised at the number of properties. It really is a huge land bank. They are very, very valuable lands."

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."

RTÉ Investigates: Christian Brothers, The Assets, The Abusers is on this Wednesday, 23rd April, 9.35 pm on RTÉ One and RTÉ Player
