Fás ‘apathy and extravagance’ severely criticised in report

STATE training agency Fás breached financial procedures, wrongly funded first-class flights for senior executives and spent tens of millions of euro in questionable ways, according to a damning new report.

The Dáil Public Accounts Committee called in its report for the board of Fás to be “restructured” and the disciplinary code in the organisation to be reviewed.

It also made recommendations to tighten controls.
