Kerins associate quits Rehab after pay cut request

A close associate of ex-Rehab chief executive Angela Kerins has quit her post in the charity, just weeks after she was asked to take an 18.5% pay cut on her six-figure salary.

Staff at the high-profile group were told of the departure of Marie Kelly in a memo yesterday from new chairman, Sean Egan.

The correspondence, seen by the Irish Examiner, states Ms Kelly “has decided to leave” her role as director of education, training and employment services at the organisation, which spent much of the past 12 months under fire over high level pay for senior bosses.
