Bord na gCon escapes censure over €5m spend

BORD na gCon escaped with a rap on the knuckles after a probe by the State’s spending watchdog into €5 million of spending.

The costs related to legal disputes and improperly sourced goods and services.

Comptroller and auditor general John Purcell found “deficiencies in systems and procedures”, but concluded that for the most part, the greyhound racing organisation’s funds were “properly applied”.
