Frank Flannery, former Rehab director, lobbyist and Fine Gael Director of Elections.
He could always get into bananas.
“I have informed the Chairman of the Rehab Group board, Mr. Brian Kerr, that I wish to step down as a director of the Rehab Group and any other group boards with immediate effect.
“It is a step that I undertake with real regret but I have come to the opinion that my involvement with the board is making the Rehab Group the subject of political controversy as this time. I spent 34 years in the Rehab Group and retired in December 2006.
I rejoined the board in 2011. The Rehab Group has played an enormously valuable role in Irish Society for nearly 70 years and I wish it continued success for the future.
“I have also informed the General Secretary of Fine Gael, Mr. Tom Curran, that I am stepping down as Director of Elections and as a Trustee of the party as of today. My involvement with Fine Gael related only to electoral strategy and organisation and I had no role in advising the government.
“Fine Gael has been mandated, along with the Labour Party, with the onerous task of turning the economy around after the deepest recession since 1929.
“I believe the government, and Fine Gael in particular, is performing well and the economy is on the mend. The party and the Taoiseach will continue to have my complete support and I will assist the party in any way I can as a private citizen and as a proud ordinary member of Fine Gael.”

Mr Flannery’s future as director of elections for Fine Gael is also uncertain after it emerged he was paid to lobby the Government on behalf of Rehab.
Last night, Mr Flannery said he and Mr Kenny had already “had a chat” about all these matters – but he added that their discussions were private.
The former Rehab chief executive said all his work for Fine Gael was voluntary and he did not take a penny in expenses. He also insisted he has not received any direct communication from PAC requesting his attendance at its hearings.

“I have total outrage fatigue at this stage but this is completely ridiculous. How do these fuppers sleep?.”

“[This] website is coming to you this morning despite efforts by lawyers for Angela Kerins, the head of Rehab Ireland.
As of Thursday (Feb 13) our host server Limelight was told in a lawyer’s letter that they were liable for an article written here two weeks ago and warned to take it down immediately. We apparently will also be sued….”Publisher Niall O’Dowd, founder of New York-based IrishCentral.com.

“…At the same time Rehab’s PR machine contrived before Christmas to place an article, un-bylined in the Irish Times [above] headlined ‘Social Values Underpin the wide ranging work of Rehab’ replete with beaming photo of [CEO Angela] Kerins…with no mention of Kerin’s Remuneration…”

Un-bylined?
Placed by a PR firm?
In the business section?
Anyone?

UPDATE:
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.
It reports:
“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”.

Angela Kerins, CEO of de Rehab was on a salary of €234,000 nearly two years ago.
If you can guess the exact figure Ms Kerins earns TODAY (once it is revealed) a special top-up [a remaindered copy of the ‘Broadsheet Buke of Unspecified Things That Look Like Ireland’ more than likely] could be yours.
Lines close at 6pm. Extended 9am Wednesday.

She said no no no.
“The most important thing is that the remunerations of all senior staff are independently done by professional people who know what they’re doing and can evaluate it properly, so I don’t wish to comment on anybody’s salary other than say that that should be done and should be transparent.”
When she was pressed by [RTE R1 Morning Ireland] host Gavin Jennings, she refused to confirm whether she still earned €234,000 [Ms kerins replied] “I have declared my salary on a number of occasions already.”
