Public Accounts Committee
Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group
3:00 pm
Mr. Hugh Governey:
I have only been on the board with one chief executive who, in my view, has made some errors of judgment. In the overall scheme of things, she did an outstanding job and was an outstanding ambassador for Rehab Group and the charity movement in Ireland and in Europe. I am on quite a number of boards and have been for many years. I know exactly the kind of scenario the Deputy is describing. The board has not been dominated by the chief executive. The board is a challenging one, challenging proposals, decisions and situations that arise, as it should do. Some members of the board are more vocal than others and some prefer to have conversations with the chief executive in private. One of our problems has not been because of a dominant chief executive.
