Ex-Rehab bosses to be ‘compelled’ to appear at PAC

Former Rehab bosses Frank Flannery and Angela Kerins have been warned they may be compelled to co-operate with the Public Accounts Committee as its trawl widens into the charity’s use of public funds.

Solicitors for the charity ex-bosses yesterday received letters from the Oireachtas committee, which wants answers from the two about Rehab’s use of public funds.

Mr Flannery and Ms Kerins have been given two weeks to decide whether to appear before PAC or else face moves to compel them to answer questions.
