The Committee representing hundreds of people who were molested as children by the Christian Brothers of Ireland has reached a settlement with the Catholic religious order. The financial settlement for abuse survivors is a cash payment of $16.5 million and should be filed within the next three weeks.

After the sexual abuse claims, the Christian Brothers filed bankruptcy in the Unites States. The filing lead to a reorganization plan which the Committee says will safeguard children from future abuse.
