Public Accounts Committee

Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group

2:10 pm

Mr. Hugh Governey:

They are no longer employees. We have no control over them, but we can appeal to their sense of commitment to Rehab which they had, in Mr. Frank Flannery's case for 30-odd years and in Ms Angela Kerins's case for 20-odd years and six or seven years as chief executive. They had passion for the whole charity sector. If it is the case that after today and after tomorrow damage is still being done to the charities sector and to Rehab as a result of their non-appearance before this committee, we will do everything humanly possible that we can do within the law. Maybe this committee has greater powers than we have - powers of persuasion or otherwise. I cannot say any more than that.
