SF: Taoiseach must demand PAC appearance from Flannery on his return

The Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has said if Fine Gael is bringing back Frank Flannery they should demand he appear before the Public Accounts Committee.

It follows reports that the former Rehab CEO and Fine Gael strategist has held meetings with Enda Kenny about returning to the party.

He made headlines last year after over funding at Rehab.

The former CEO of Rehab had also said to try and question him.

The Sinn Féin President said the Taoiseach should tell Mr Flannery to co-operate.

Mr Adams said: "Well I read those reports and I wonder whether in the course of their tete-a-tete did the Taoiseach ask Frank Flannery would he go and give evidence to the Public Accounts Committee.

"Surely, that is the Taoiseach's responsibility to do that."
