Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Tánaiste for those responses, and it is very clear at this stage that Members of the Oireachtas are of one mind on this issue, whether on the Government or the Opposition benches. We are all absolutely insistent at this stage that full details in respect of payments to Rehab executives must be made public without any further delay. I welcome that the Tánaiste, along with members of our committee, is sending that message on behalf of the Oireachtas and Government to the current chief executive, the former chief executive and the entire Rehab organisation. I hope those parties will respond in kind. We have been faced with a case in which an organisation in receipt of very substantial public moneys and enjoying charitable status has thumbed its nose at the general public, volunteers and donors. I very much hope the same people will not show disregard to the Government of this State and elected Members of this House. I hope Ms Kerins and her colleagues in Rehab will speedily, finally and fully disclose the pay rates of senior executives.
