High Court action over €691 claim settled
Tens of thousands of euro were spent in legal, inquiry, and investigation fees while WCVEC dealt with the fallout from its move to discipline Tom Cullen, its former education officer, over his minor expenses claim in 2007.
The legal bills were all incurred before the Irish Public Bodies insurance company, on behalf of WCVEC, settled the High Court action with Mr Cullen last week.
