Former Rehab chief Angela Kerins has appeal for Dail documents dismissed

Former Rehab chief executive Angela Kerins ’s appeal seeking Dáil documents to assist her claim for damages for alleged injuries arising out of her treatment at 2014 Public Accounts Committee has been dismissed by the Supreme Court .

In a lead judgment supported by his six colleagues, Mr Justice Donal O’Donnell said the “gravamen” of her claim is that she suffered damage to her reputation and health by reason of what was “said” during the hearing. This decision does not mean Mr Kerins did not have any constitutional rights in her dealings with the PAC, and there is a duty on the Oireachtas in this regard, he added.In her long-running case she claims the committee subjected her to a “witch hunt” style of questioning and that she was so overwhelmed by what happened at the hearing that she later attempted to take her own life and could not attend a follow-up hearing that April. She resigned from her role that month.
