- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Gerald Nash: I am left with no other option. Four company directors and one executive from the organisation are before us. At the last meeting with Rehab, I pursued a line of questioning in respect of the remuneration of directors. Clearly, the witnesses have spoken very openly about their own concerns about the nature of the arrangement with Mr. Flannery when he was a member of the board. I checked...

- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Gerald Nash: Are there any other current directors of the board who have a formal financial relationship with the organisation through contracts for services and so on during their tenure and term of office? Are the witnesses aware of anybody affected by this, excluding Mr. Flannery, who has obviously stepped down from the board?
- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Gerald Nash: The practice referred to previously that has been uncovered by the revelation that Mr. Flannery was in receipt of a significant payment over a period of six or seven years for providing services to the organisation has now been discontinued. How soon is now? When was that practice discontinued? Can the witnesses give me a date?
- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Gerald Nash: Was that subsequent to the media furore and the revelations in the media about Mr. Flannery's relationship with the organisation? Was it the case that the organisation was caught and then decided to put its hands up, so to speak, and say that it was going to stop this?

Gerald Nash: Is that one of the areas Dr. Molloy will be looking at in the context of his review of the organisation? We seem to have received three different responses from the corporate body in respect of how it deals with payments to directors under article 33 of its memorandum and articles of association. Some of them are quite contradictory. There has been quite a lot of public attention in...

Gerald Nash: Could Mr. Doyle tell me about the timeframe for the Molloy report? I think he appreciates the urgency of it, the pressure the organisation and, indeed, the charity sector are under, and the responsibility he has. What does he expect from that?
- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Gerald Nash: I appreciate that and have done some work in that area. What does Dr. Molloy see as the priority?
- Public Accounts Committee: Payments to Section 39 Companies: (Resumed) Rehab Group (10 Apr 2014)
Gerald Nash: I have a question for Mr. Poole, who might be best placed to answer it. I note the Revenue Commissioners have procedures in place to ensure charities like Rehab which enjoy tax exemption status are subject to reviews from time to time to ensure all the terms of the exemption they enjoy are adequately fulfilled. Have the Revenue Commissioners taken an interest in recent years? Have they...
