The Irish Independent reports that former Fine Gael TD and Newstalk presenter Ivan Yates has compared the relationship between Rehab and Fine Gael to that of Bertie Ahern and the Central Remedial Clinic.

“Based upon Fine Gael strategist Frank Flannery being a former chief executive of the charity, Mr Yates said it was perceived that “Rehab sort of had friends in Fine Gael”.
