The Daily PollPoll: Has the CRC scandal affected how you give to charity?
Has the scandal made you think twice about donating – or where you donate to?

And earlier this week, another charity Bóthar revealed its staff had received hate mail in the wake of the revelations at the CRC. It also noted that donations had fallen.
Speaking this morning, PAC chairman John McGuinness urged the public to continue supporting vital charities, promising that reform in the sector is imminent.
