The Health Service Executive has provided €30m to fund treatment for hepatitis C, however, there is a call for additional funding for more community outreach programmes to raise awareness among vulnerable people who could be unknowingly infected.
Hepatitis C is a contagious virus that affects the liver, and can only be contracted through contact with infected blood, writes Mark O'Flynn.
It is estimated that between 20,000 to 50,000 people in Ireland are infected with the virus.
