End ‘nauseating spectacle’ of charity finances: Kenny

Taoiseach Enda Kenny heaped more pressure on Rehab CEO Angela Kerins to reveal full details of her salary, saying the “nauseating spectacle” surrounding the finances of Irish charities had to end.

In response, the Rehab board said it would “consider” disclosing Ms Kerin’s remuneration package next month. Her salary in 2011 was €234,000 but she has consistently refused to reveal her pay package ever since.

Speaking in Davos, Mr Kenny said where public money or donations were concerned, people “need to be confident that everything is above board, is accountable, transparent, and they know that their donations are going to the purposes for which they were intended”.
