Ms Kerins mentioned the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Leo Varadkar, and his comment that Rehab was more akin to a semi-State body. I heard that radio interview, in which he also asked when was a charity not a charity, when did it become a commercial entity and that, if one reached a point where a certain proportion of one's work was commercial, it was better to be called a commercial entity with a certain ethos rather than a charity. I am paraphrasing, but Ms Kerins probably heard the interview. I would be interested in her views.
