An order has been made to restrain the founder of Console Paul Kelly, his wife Patricia and his sister Joan McKenna from accessing its funds.

ItÂ’s after a HSE audit revealed financial irregularities at the national suicide charity between 2012 and 2014.

The High Court has also approved an injunction preventing them from destroying, concealing or moving any of its records.

Despite the announcement of his resignation last week, the court heard Mr. Kelly has continued to hold himself out as CEO.

David Hall was appointed as interim CEO last night. He says their main focus now is to keep ConsoleÂ’s services going:

Meanwhile - the Charities Regulator has appointed five new trustees to the board of Console.

The role of the trustees is to provide governance and leadership, ensure the charity complies with the law and ensure that it is carrying out its charitable purposes for the public benefit.

The proposed trustees are Diarmaid Ó Corrbuí, CEO of Carmichael Centre for Voluntary Groups; Shelley Horan, a practicing Barrister and Adjunct Assistant Professor of Law at Trinity College Dublin and Bernie Gray a member of the Accountability Board of the Civil Service.

The others are Shay Ellis who has extensive experience in HR management, the voluntary sector and the governance of charitable counselling services; and Penelope Kenny, a chartered accountant and corporate governance professional.
