Too important for the Sunday Leads, tomorrow’s Sunday Tribune reports that the religious orders criticised in the Ryan report into child abuse are “demanding tens of millions of euro in legal fees for appearing before the inquiry.”

The lead by Conor McMorrow and Shane Coleman continues:

While the orders are close to a final agreemenr with the government to make additional contributions of €100m plus properties to the redress scheme, the Sunday Tribune has learned that the Department of Finance has been notified that the orders have applied to have their massive legal bills arising from the Ryan inquiry covered by the taxpayer.

Shocking!
