No probe after Fás paid €1.5m for €750k site

REVELATIONS that Fás paid double the recommended price for a decentralised site in the Taoiseach’s constituency back in 2004 have not been investigated by the Department of Finance.

An official confirmed that no examination has taken place since the state spending watchdog, the Comptroller and Auditor General, criticised the waste back in September.

The department was accused of doing nothing and allowing reports to gather dust when someone should have been held to account for the waste of taxpayers’ money.
