The Committee of Public Accounts has received a letter dated 11th March 2014 from Tom Casey Solicitors, Arran Quay, Dublin 7 furnishing a statement from Mr John Kelly.
The statement contains a number of serious allegations against named individuals who have or had associations with the Rehab Group.
The Committee has taken legal advice on the Statement and has decided to forward a copy of the correspondence to the Garda Siochána pursuant to its obligations under the Criminal Justice Act 2011 and other enactments.
The allegations contained in the statement fall outside the Committee’s remit and could potentially involve criminal wrong-doing and, in that regard, the Committee agreed to refer the matter to the appropriate authorities which in this case is An Garda Siochána.
The document is no longer a document of the Committee and, therefore, if published is not privileged.
