Another report, another disturbing finding about governance at one of Ireland's best known, and well-funded charities, the Peter McVerry Trust.Between 2022 and 2023, the charity paid near €1.7m to Lavelle Solicitors, whose managing partner Michael Lavelle is a brother of McVerry director Richard Lavelle.The finding is contained in a report from the Approved Housing Bodies Regulatory Authority (AHBRA), the supervisor of not-for-profit groups that receive public funds to provide affordable housing.Since 2023 when it was revealed that the charity – which provides essential services to the growing number of homeless people in the State – needed a €15m bailout, it has been subjected to heightened scrutiny. In addition to the AHBRA, the Comptroller & Auditor General and the Charities Commission have been asking questions. The answers when published have, since 2023, pointed to lax financial controls and poor board oversight.The findings have caused significant reputational damage to the organisation and runs significant risk of spilling over to the entire charity sector, impacting on much-needed fundraising.Current affairs editor Arthur Beesley has been following this unfolding story.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

Jerry speaks to Pat Doyle, CEO of the Peter McVerry Trust. Last year the charity – an approved social housing body – helped almost 200 people who were homeless in Kerry. The trust is seeking properties that need to be renovated. Mr Doyle says the Peter McVerry Trust can help owners of properties who can’t afford to have them repaired. Under the Repair and Leasing Scheme, people can lease their property for 25 years to councils or approved housing bodies which, in turn, will carry out necessary repairs.

Pat Doyle, CEO of the Peter McVerry Trust, on the increased availability of accommodation for homeless people.

My guest in this epsisode is Fr Peter McVerry, a Belfast born Jesuit priest who grew up in Newry, County Down before moving to Dublin. After his ordination in 1975 he  lived and worked in summerhill in North Dublin and came face to face with homelessness, poverty and deprivation. He went on to set up a trust to help struggling young people, including those facing addiction. This work started life in a 3 bedroom apartment in Ballymun and later became the Peter McVerry Trust which grew to include hostels, apartments, a detox centre and other services for people affected by addiction and homelessness. It is now one of the largest and most important organisations of its kind in Ireland. Fr McVerry has consistently been one of the most outspoken critics of government policy on housing and homelessness and is one of Ireland’s most respected campaigners and activists, a man who is very much walking his talk. It was great to get the time with Peter over Zoom and you can see the video version of this episode over on the Love and Courage YouTube channel or on my Facebook page, just look up Ruairi McKiernan – Hitching for Hope.

A moment that lamented Shane Horgan as a hero of Irish rugby was his 2007 try against England in Croke Park. It was the first time Ireland played England in Croke Park and an emotional day for all. Ronan O'Gara's pinpoint kick saw Horgan use his GAA skills to reach high and catch to slam the ball over the try line, a turning point in the game that secured a historic day in sport. Shane joined Alison on Weekend Breakfast and chatted about this moment and how it felt. He also shared his predictions for this year's Guinness Six Nations, how the squad can shake off the World Cup and his hopes for new coach Andy Farrell. Performance Nutritionist for the IRFU Marcus Shortall also joined in to chat about how the players fuel their bodies for best performance and all the carbs they get to eat on match days. Shane Horgan is an ambassador for Glenisk, the official yogurt of Irish Rugby. Glenisk have an open one-day pop-up restaurant on Monday February 3rd in ‘Tang’ on Dawson Street with all proceeds from the day being donated to Peter McVerry Trust. Glenisk have developed a menu of 15 ‘scrum’-ptious high-protein dishes using the Glenisk range in collaboration with the IRFU Performance Nutrition team. With dishes like Protein Pancakes, slow-cooked Marinated Irish Beef and Vegetarian Falafel, we're drooling already! Listen back to their chat by pressing the play button at the top of the screen.

Tech workers abandoning Dublin due to housing costs, an Airbnb maintenance worker who is himself homeless, and the woman battling to transform Ireland's swathe of vacant properties into homes.

As polls ahead of the election on February 8th indicate Taoiseach Leo Varadkar's chance at a second term may be slipping away as support ebbs towards Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil, Naomi O'Leary puts the appeal of promises to build social housing in context.
