Restorative justice charity has public funding suspended
Community Restorative Justice Ireland (CRJI) has had its funding suspended by Northern Ireland’s Executive Office after concerns were raised about its financial and corporate governance.
The Executive Office is the single largest funder of CRJI and has funded it to the tune of £1.2 million in the past financial year, the BBC reports.
A spokesperson for CRJI said: “An internal investigation is also ongoing and it would therefore be inappropriate and potentially prejudicial to that process to make further public comment at this juncture.
“CRJI remains committed to the highest standards of corporate governance and delivering for the communities with whom we work.”
