Interim CEO of Console takes control of company's assets

The interim CEO at the charity Console has taken charge of many of the assets that were purchased on credit cards belonging to founder Paul Kelly.

RTE are reporting that the charity's new acting CEO, David Hall, has seized possession of an Audi Q5 jeep and a Mercedes CLS car along with company records and computers.

A significant amount of activity is ongoing to ensure that the assets of the charity are secured before they can be moved or destroyed. An inventory of the current assets at the charity will be taken on Monday, and the High Court will be notified on the matter the following day.

Kelly has not been heard from since before the revelations about the finances at Console came to light in an RTE documentary more than a week ago, and his family home in Clane is said to appear unlived in for some time.

The High Court have been unable to get in contact with Kelly, despite numerous attempts via email and phone calls.
