Ex-county manager takes controversial job

THE former county manager of Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council (DLRCC) has, within months of retiring, taken up a senior position with a development company behind a controversial high-rise development in south Dublin, the Dáil was told last night.

Progressive Democrat TD Liz O’Donnell said the appointment of Derek Brady to a senior position with Alburn Limited created a compelling “perception of Mr Brady having been in a conflict of interest in relation to this development.”

She said his appointment required an investigation by the Minister for the Environment, Dick Roche.
