Ms Angela Kerins:

Of course we have come here today as witnesses, as the Deputy has said, in relation to the three areas that the committee wishes to cover. We have brought along representatives of RehabCare, the National Learning Network and our charitable lotteries.

Frank Flannery is no longer working for the Rehab Group and has not been an employee of the Rehab Group for what must be seven years now. I will be in a position to deal with issues in relation to remuneration, should they come up. Our whole focus - and that is why we required clarity on what we needed to prepare today in relation to what that we are working on - is on the three areas mentioned in the invitation letter. It was felt that the team that has been fielded today were the best placed to respond to those questions.
