Former Console bosses have been asked to repay €150,000 in grants given to the charity.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has issued letters to Paul and Patricia Kelly, who were involved at senior management level of the charity.

The letters demand full repayment of Emigrant Support Programme grants - totalling €150,889 - given to the suicide bereavement charity over three years (2013, 2014 and 2015).

The grants are given to organisations providing support and advice services to Irish emigrants abroad.

The department confirmed that "repayment of these grants was requested" following an audit.

It comes as liquidator Tom Murray is coming to the end of his work winding up the suicide charity.

A source who has seen his unpublished report says it shows there’s still questions around how €600,000 of the charity’s money was spent.
