Sacked Bord na gCon chief’s position advertised

THE job of sacked Bord na gCon chief executive Aidan Tynan was advertised in Sunday newspapers while an investigation into the controversy continues.

The closing date has been set for March 3, around the same time that an independent inquiry ordered by Sports Minister John O’Donoghue is expected to report its findings on Mr Tynan’s dismissal.

Former Department of Justice secretary general Tim Dalton is probing the circumstances of the dismissal as well as other issues around the running of the greyhound board, including its policies in relation to doping offences.
