Departing Rehab staff member paid up to €310k

One departing staff member at Rehab received salary and redundancy payments of €300,000 to €310,000 last year.

That is according to Rehab’s 2015 annual report which shows that the charity paid out redundancy sums of €1m to its departing high fliers. This followed €3.2m paid out in redundancy in 2014 and the combined €4.2m arises from the fallout of the controversy that the organisation was mired in 2014 that culminated in the resignation of its chief executive, Angela Kerins and a new board being appointed five months later.

Ms Kerins who was on a salary of €240,000 resigned citing the toll the controversy surrounding the charity group had taken on it and her own personal life.
