Greyhound Board ‘must explain’ spending breaches

Public Accounts Committee chairman John McGuinness has warned the Irish Greyhound Board it will have to explain why it broke spending rules.

The cash-strapped semi-state company will appear before the Dáil committee today to answer for a number of issues surrounding its finances and its corporate governance.

Mr McGuinness said the recent annual accounts had revealed the company had not followed the rules, butit would require details on how and why this happened.
