Doherty is a board member of Pieta House and is not paid for the role. Pieta House has said that all members of its board work pro-bono and none receive any money for their work. “All Board members give their time and skills to Pieta free of charge,” a note on its website says. All the members of the board, including Doherty, can be seen on the Pieta House website here. "
