Outdoor centre reprimanded for overspending

Spending restrictions were placed on an outdoor education centre after it was punished for allowing “bad practices” to feed a serious deficit problem.

Kinsale Outdoor Education Centre had its order book taken off it in 2009 following a critical audit by CCVEC.

According to a report to a sub-committee of the VEC, this raised problems which contributed to a deficit of almost €30,000 at the end of 2008.
