A complaint was made to the Charities Regulator about the operation of Matt Talbot Adolescent Services in early May, the Irish Examiner has learned. The chief executive of Matt Talbot Adolescent Services (MTAS) Patrick Relihan resigned with immediate effect this week. Last year, the HSE and MTAS announced that the charity’s residential centre in West Cork was ceasing operations. Mr Relihan had left the priesthood in 2014, a year before his appointment as chief executive of MTAS. Messages left for Mr Relihan had not received a reply at the time of going to print.
