Taoiseach Leo Varadkar acknowledged ex-Rehab chief executive Angela Kerins was "treated badly" by a previous Dáil public accounts committee during its pursuit of serious financial issues at the organisation.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says ex-Rehab chief executive, Angela Kerins, was "treated very badly" by the previous Dáil public accounts committee during its pursuit of serious financial issues at the organisation.

Mr Varadkar rowed into the case, saying politicians must not be "driven by news cycles" after the Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled the previous PAC acted unlawfully during meetings with her in 2014.
