Shane Ross: How much will it be?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Shane Ross: Very nearly half of the €242,000.
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Shane Ross: That is a staggering figure. The €3 million was transferred from the Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic.
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Shane Ross: Therefore, lottery and private funding will go towards paying Mr. Kiely's pension.
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Shane Ross: But Mr. Kiely’s, in particular. His will be the biggest.
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Shane Ross: The €3 million has gone as a loan from those who contributed, basically the friends and supporters, to pay the pensions of Mr. Kiely and others who are very well paid. It is not going towards the operations of the clinic at a time when there are cutbacks.
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)

Shane Ross: Was Mr. Nugent on the board of both at the time?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Shane Ross: Is there not a conflict in that he is both a lender and a borrower at the same time?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Shane Ross: Mr. Nugent is and he was conflicted. The point I am making, on which I will ask him to comment, is that, in this deal, it is very likely that the Friends and Supporters of the Central Remedial Clinic have been stuffed. Some €3 million has gone from that body. The source of the funds is money given voluntarily, supposedly for sick people. It has gone from the Friends and Supporters...
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Shane Ross: The clinic got one for €83,000.
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
Shane Ross: The previous guy was paid €240,000. The clinic advertised - in fact, it did not advertise - and got a guy for €83,000. Does that not tell Mr. Nugent something about what the clinic was paying Mr. Kiely?
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)

Shane Ross: It was authorised and reviewed by the board every year.
- Public Accounts Committee: Section 38 - Agencies Remuneration (11 Dec 2013)
