Kerins seeks damages over treatment by PAC ‘vultures’

Former Rehab CEO Angela Kerins was assailed by “a pack of parliamentary vultures” when the Dáil’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) was investigating state funding of the organisation, her lawyer told the High Court yesterday.

Ms Kerins also suffered “devastating” injuries as a direct consequence of questioning of her by the PAC on February 27, 2014, John Rogers said.

He was speaking during an application to Ms Justice Isobel Kennedy for an order of discovery of documents Ms Kerins says she needs in advance of her action against the PAC.
