Angela Kerins sues Dail Public Accounts Committee
Summary
Former Rehab CEO Angela Kerins launched High Court proceedings against the Dáil Public Accounts Committee (PAC) after she claimed her job loss and health decline were caused by unfair questioning during a PAC hearing on February 27, 2014. Kerins alleges the PAC acted unlawfully, biased, and outside its remit, and that members engaged in a "witch hunt." She seeks orders restraining the PAC from further examining her employment with Rehab, from publishing reports linking her remuneration to Rehab, and from compelling her to attend future hearings. Kerins also requests damages for personal injury and reputational harm, and declarations that the PAC lacks jurisdiction over Rehab's expenditures. The case was granted ex‑parte permission by Justice John Hedigan, with a return date of November 4. Kerins' statement emphasizes her distress and the need for legal protection of her rights as a private citizen.
