Funds are not available to pay staff statutory redundancy at two Sisters of Charity nursing homes in Dublin which are being closed, the congregation has said. It was “extremely disappointed to learn that there may not be enough funds to pay statutory redundancy to the staff” at St Mary’s Centre Nursing Home on Merrion Road and St Monica’s at Belvedere Place in the city centre, the order said. Last Friday directors at St Mary’s Centre applied for a High Court order to enter voluntary liquidation. Two Sisters of Charity sit on the board of St Mary’s, with one sister on the board of St Monica’s and two sisters on the board of Caritas. Caritas was set up in 2001, St Monica’s set up in 2003, and St Mary’s in 2007.
