‘Major concerns’ found in audit of Gaeltacht firm

AN EXPLOSIVE internal audit exposing wastage of taxpayers money and the signing of blank cheques at a community development company has been released.

The audit of Meitheal Forbartha na Gaeltacht (MFG), the head office of which was in Dingle, Co Kerry, was carried out last year by the government funding agency, Pobal.

MFG closed suddenly in September, when the company became insolvent, with the loss of more than 100 full-time jobs.
