Ms Kathleen O'Meara:

I think the Deputy saw what happened with RehabCare. The Deputy will be familiar with the recent situation in RehabCare, where the board of the Rehab Group found itself in a situation where it could not countenance the effective conflict between the reckless trading and our commitment to delivering services. We were then forced to say publicly that the board had no option but to say that the service agreement would have to be terminated, and to give notice that the service agreement would have to be terminated to stay within the law. We were talking about €2 million, which in the context of the size of RehabCare is small, but without that €2 million we would be in a situation where we were ready for liquidation. That is what happens.
