VEC members insist on meeting over failed deal

AN under-pressure County Cork VEC has called a special meeting to discuss the fallout from its loss of a substantial sum of money on a collapsed school computer deal.

Committee chairman Councillor Noel O’Connor, said the majority of members wanted to hear the VEC account for the recently publicised loss.

And, after discussions with chief executive Barra O Briain, he arranged for the unorthodox gathering.
