School blamed for demise of €161k IT contract

The man whose company was blamed for defaulting on a contract that left County Cork VEC with a €161,000 shortfall has said school authorities were responsible for the demise of the deal.

Jonathan O’Shea, the former chief executive of Mobile Voyager Solutions (MVS), said he had his reputation tarnished by the reaction to the controversial computer project.

This was after the unusual agreement underpinning it broke down between his company and its partner school, Glanmire Community College, in 2006.
