Council reveals €117,000 misappropriation

A STAFF member at Cork County Council has been dismissed after the misappropriation of €117,000.

The Local Government Audit Service report published yesterday also detailed action against two other staff members including one employee who has been on suspension for almost a year after a controversial land deal in Charleville.

Another employee was suspended for two weeks after authorising a €50,000 payment to a road sign company which went into liquidation without delivering the goods.
