The former chief executive of the Rehab Group, Angela Kerins, attempted suicide in the aftermath of her infamous appearance at the Dáil Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and would have died but for medical intervention.

Ms Kerins took a large quantity of pills and some alcohol in her home and fell unconscious, but was rescued by a Rehab colleague who broke into the house out of concern.
