Francis Doherty

Francis Doherty served as the chief executive of the Peter McVerry Trust from June to October 2023, during a tumultuous period for the charity marked by financial crises and controversies over spending practices, including the approval of a peacock enclosure at a historic property. His tenure followed that of Pat Doyle, who led the organization for 18 years, and Doherty's revelations about the charity's financial instability prompted significant scrutiny from the Public Accounts Committee.
