External audit for McNeice’s tenure
IMO members voted at an extraordinary general meeting on Saturday to tender for an external company to conduct the audit.
It will look at Mr McNeice’s contract arrangements, pay and pension entitlements, as well as payments involving third parties, including the IMO’s associated financial and insurance companies. It was acknowledged that as part of the review Mr McNeice, Dr James Reilly, — the health minister who was a member of the IMO’s remuneration committee when Mr McNeice became chief executive — and other members of the organisation could be questioned.
