Survivors of child abuse in residential institutions have expressed shock at the fact that the sole owner of the new National Maternity Hospital in south Dublin will be the the St Vincent’s Healthcare Group, of which the Sisters of Charity are the shareholders.
The Sisters of Charity have yet to fulfil their
commitments under the 2002 indemnity agreement, under which they and 17
other congregations that ran residential institutions for children
agreed to pay the State €128 million towards redress costs.
