PAC takes aim at Kerins' extortionate pay packet

Though she wasn’t present at the PAC meeting yesterday, Angela Kerins and her extortionate pay packet loomed large as committee members took aim, writes Political Editor Mary Regan

WHEN the country’s highest paid banker is in the room next door, it takes a very controversial payment to steal all the headlines.

But so it was yesterday when Angela Kerins — physically absent from a Dáil committee hearing — made her presence strongly felt with a legal threat to her former Rehab colleagues not to reveal any details of her golden handshakes payment or pension from the disability charity which she quit last week.
