Further to the no-show from Frank Flannery and Angela Kerinsat the Public Accounts Committee hearing over the payments scandal at Rehab.

What about those coffins.

DaveC writes:

“Perhaps you can help. In 2009 Rehab wanted to source coffins from China to sell in Ireland (as you do) and contracted Complete Eco Solutions (CES) based in Kilkenny to do the job.
The founding shareholders and directors in CES were Sean Kerins, Angela Kerins’ husband, Joseph Fitzpatrick, her brother and Frank Flannery, ex-Rehab chief executive and FG handler.
According to Goldhawk in The Phoenix [March 2011] (not available online) two Rehab Recycle managers refused to complete the orders for the coffins when they saw who the CES directors and shareholders were. [The magazine reported]:
“Later, with much argument about CES being brought in to handle the importation of the coffins, a financial controller in Rehab Enterprises refused to sign a cheque to CES for €70,000 as a deposit on the initial coffins order. While Recycle personnel had quoted coffins at a price of €150 maximum, the Rehab Enterprises Coffin Business Plan, December 2009, stated, “The cost per unit is approx. €400 including shipping”.
Rehab was billed for €255,552 but reduced the order of coffins to exactly €70,000. The charity later sold off the coffins for €10,000 plus VAT. My question: Shouldn’t we be calling the guards here?”

Anyone?
