Gardaí probe staff misconduct claims at council

GARDAÍ are investigating alleged staff misconduct at one of the country’s largest county councils.

Dungarvan Garda Inspector Tom O’Grady confirmed yesterday that officers have received information from a senior staff member at Waterford County Council, alleging irregularity in certain matters at the local authority.

He said a garda probe had begun but would not say how many people were involved or how long it might take.
