The Christian Brothers order plans to sell off its remaining assets to fund compensation claims to abuse survivors but admits it will not be enough to cover the amount owed.

In short:

A victim of clergy abuse says he is disappointed by the Christian Brothers plans to liquidate its remaining assets as part of a proposal that will mean it is unable to cover its abuse restitution debts.

He said that after years of fighting for compensation and being dragged through the legal system, victim-survivors would feel exhausted but “unsurprised” by the announcement. What’s next?

Lawyers representing victim-survivors say they will “keep fighting” to ensure everyone gets what they are owed.
