Mater says it did not get €666k from CRC

Former CRC boss Paul Kiely deliberately misled the public accounts committee over a claimed “phantom” €666,000 Mater pension fund.

The allegation was made by PAC chairman and Fianna Fáil TD, John McGuinness, at the latest meeting of the cross-party body.

During last week’s five- hour grilling of then senior CRC personnel over the ongoing top-ups scandal, Mr Kiely was asked to clarify why the disability group paid the Mater Hospital €666,000 a year.
