It has been confirmed that Angela Kerins will appear before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) next week. The Chief Executive of Rehab will face questions about her salary, and the group's lottery and other expenditure.

Rehab was forced to disclose earlier this week that Ms. Kerins has an annual salary of €240,000 plus perks.

Along with the salary, Ms. Kerins is also given a 6% contribution to her pension and is provided with a company car.

The board says it seeks the advice of independent experts to inform its decisions on the pay of senior management.

In a statement earlier this week, the Group said that "The rate of pay for the Rehab Group Chief Executive is significantly below the market median".

The Rehab Group Chairman Brian Kerr said "We are satisfied that this is competitive and fair remuneration for the person leading the Rehab Group".

"We are conscious that the Irish government and public bodies are very important stakeholders of the Rehab Group. We share a common desire to make quality and relevant services available to people who need them and we are conscious of recent calls for the salary of the Chief Executive to be published again" Kerr added.

The PAC Chairman John McGuinness says they will be tied in the questions they can ask.
