  1. Just absorb the “charity” into the department of housing in that case. Make it a property of the government, fire the old directors.

    Why would a charity get a bailout? Too big to fail?  

     Edit:   

    >When the previous chief executive left the charity last October after less than five months in the post, the department suggested a former county council chief executive as a potential candidate to provide short-term assistance as a temporary chief.  

    >“The trust engaged the recommended candidate commencing October 16th, 2023, at a daily rate of €1,000 and recouped the cost of this from [Dublin City Council] who in turn recouped it from the department.”  

    Ah…now I get it.
