Health board denies irregularities over land deal
The still unexplained source of funding for the North Western Health Board’s (NWHB) plush new HQ in Leitrim - built without permission from the Department of Health - is to be scrutinised today by the Dáil Public Accounts Committee.
Initially, the plan was to alter and extend the existing building at a cost of just €900,000, but this snowballed into a project in Manorhamilton, Co Leitrim, costing 10 times as much, according to a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General.
