PAC: Ex Rehab bosses may not attend

Ousted Rehab bosses Angela Kerins and Frank Flannery have still not clarified if they will attend tomorrow’s showdown with the Dáil’s spending watchdog — despite the charity insisting it has learned its lesson on transparency.

The question marks over Ms Kerins, who retired as Rehab chief executive last week, and Mr Flannery, who cut ties with the charity last month, were detailed last night by John McGuinness, chairman of the Public Accounts Committee.

In a statement released just hours after the disability charity admitted that previous answers on how it spends public money have been “inadequate”, Mr McGuinness said the committee had yet to hear from either official on whether they will attend as asked.
