Rooney quit over ‘culture of secrecy at Goal’
Although the treatment of the board’s former chairman, Ken Fogarty, by chief executive John O’Shea sealed his decision to resign, Mr Rooney said both had a “very negative experience at the manner in which operations are managed”. Neither could satisfy themselves that public funds were being “properly and efficiently dispensed”.
This was largely because information they had requested to demonstrate how operations were run was not forthcoming.
