Clinic could be before PAC next week

The Central Remedial Clinic could be hauled before the Dáil’s Public Accounts Committee (PAC) as soon as next week to give a detailed response to serious concerns over its use of millions of euro worth of charitable donations.

PAC chairman and Fianna Fáil TD John McGuinness said the cross-party body is seeking a meeting with the disability organisation as soon as it can be arranged.

An exact date for the meeting has to be decided, as the PAC wants to ensure officials from the Department of Health and HSE are also available to attend.
