The chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) says the Health Service Executive (HSE) will be brought before the committee to explain how a Hepatitis C lobby group misspent public money.

A HSE audit found that Positive Action received more than €2m in public funding since 2009, but collapsed earlier this year with debts of over €100,000.

In September 2013, officers at Pearse Street garda station were asked to investigate the alleged misuse of public money by the group.

The money was spent on the likes of lobster dinners, dog kennels, manicures and angel healing.

John McGuinness is chairman of the PAC. He says how the money was spent needs to be accounted for.
