Public Accounts Committee
Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group
11:15 am
Mr. Hugh Governey:
My name is Hugh Governey and I am now the chairman of Rehab Enterprises. I was on the board at that time. I refer to the letter we wrote to Ms Maguire in response to the committee’s letter of 4 March. Item No. 10 in that letter deals with the involvement with Complete Eco Solutions.
Complete Eco Solutions was a company based in China, apparently. Its name is not in any way connected with coffins. It is a company in which Ms Kerins's brother was an active director and shareholder. This opportunity came from one of our employee directors at the time within Rehab Enterprises to import coffins from China. The connection was made through Ms Kerins's brother.
