Gardaí deciding if issues relating to Console merit a criminal probe
A report on RTÉ’s Prime Time programme last night made a number of allegations in relation to the charity. Ahead of the broadcast, its chief executive Paul Kelly had resigned as his wife Patricia Kelly and sister Joan McKenna had resigned as directors.
The allegations included that Console altered accounts on several occasions to omit the reference to directors’ pay and other benefits, and that it claimed as board members people who did not hold those positions in documents submitted to funders. One of those was former senator Jillian Van Turnhout, who told RTÉ Investigates that she was “stunned” her name had been used.
