Public Accounts Committee

Payments to Section 39 Companies: Discussion

2:40 pm

Ms Angela Kerins:

I could be going back over this ground in respect of my post. I donate money to various charities. One hears much about senior salaries and people earning more than €70,000, €80,000 or €90,000. Some people believe these are too high. Some charities depend on their entire fund-raising incomes to pay for everything, including salaries, pensions and activities, whereas others do not because they have other incomes. It is important that the public knows to what it is contributing. It would be wise to make this point clear. I have no problem with contributing to the total running costs of a charity, but some may. They may wish to contribute to front-line service delivery only. I have spoken much about myself. My work goes way beyond the charitable activities of the Rehab Group. We can argue this-----
