Rehab boss Kerins is set to reveal all in memoirs

- BY JASON O’TOOLE

Angela Kerins FORMER Rehab boss Angela Kerins is planning to publish a tell-all book.

The Supreme Court ruled last week she may have been treated unfairly when questioned by the Dail Public Accounts Committee in 2014 about her €240,000 annual salary.

Seven of the country’s senior judges ruled PAC acted outside its remit.

The ruling means the court may find the committee’s questionin­g of Mrs Kerins was unlawful.

Mrs Kerins claimed she was left traumatise­d by her dealings with PAC and later attempted suicide.

A close source said: “She will honestly reflect in her upcoming memoir about this terribly dark period that drove her to such despair.

“There was a huge wave of negative publicity surroundin­g the PAC Hearing.

“But it wasn’t only PAC that drove her overboard – there was also a huge amount of hate mail, death threats and media hostility.

“She was very vulnerable and convinced the only way to end this nightmare was by taking her own life.”

In a 2015 High Court affidavit it was revealed Mrs Kerins had attempted to take her own life because she had become “irrational­ly convinced that the solution was to sacrifice myself ”.

It is understood Mrs Kerins will now seek damages from PAC.
