Dispute overshadows last Cork VEC meeting

The last ever meeting of County Cork VEC will take place today under the shadow of a dispute regarding an allegation that it covered up controversies.

The acting chief executive of the CCVEC, Joan Russell, wrote to the former chairman of its audit committee, Humphrey Deegan, asking him for a written account of his claims of a cover up.

At last month’s meeting the committee resolved to have Cllr Deegan detail his concerns in writing so they can be addressed at today’s meeting.
