Coughlan orders fresh probe into money management at FÁS

A FRESH probe into FÁS finances is to be launched after allegations of mismanagement of public funds, it emerged last night.

Tánaiste Mary Coughlan ordered the state’s spending watchdog, the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), to investigate any “wrong doing” in the training organisation.

Fine Gael accused the Enterprise Minister of an embarrassing U-turn as it had been demanding such an inquiry for months.
