Tynan report referred for further examination

THE report into the sacking of former Bord na gCon chief executive Aidan Tynan has recommended that certain matters be referred to the Comptroller and Auditor General, John Purcell, for examination.

They refer to matters that came up during the course of Tim Dalton’s investigation, but which he considered to be outside the scope of his enquiry. They are believed to mostly relate to the development of the Shelbourne Park course several years ago.

The State’s financial watchdog, the Public Accounts Committee, already examined Bord na gCon’s financial operations in April 2004, following a report prepared by the C&AG John Purcell.
