Rehab made just €9k profit from €4m card sales

Of the €3.969m of Rehab scratch cards sold over a 12-month period in 2010, they delivered a profit of just 1% for the company.

The shocking figures were revealed in the Dáil last night by Justice Minister Alan Shatter, who said an audit was carried out by the Department of Justice on the Charitable Lotteries Scheme funds received by Rehab for the two-year period from 2010/11. He said the audit found costs were so high they resulted “in a low profit margin”.
