PAC hits at Flannery’s ‘bullying’ allegations
Mr Flannery, who stood down as Fine Gael’s chief strategist after it emerged that he was also being paid to lobby ministers on charity issues, has signalled he will continue his tense stand-off with the Oireachtas Public Accounts Committee, over whether he will appear before the TDs.
PAC member Simon Harris has warned that the committee will carry out its threat to compel him to give evidence. Mr Harris said some of the senior Rehab staff who did appear before the committee had large gaps in their frame of knowledge and may have been “kept in the dark” about some aspects of the charity’s organisation.
