Fás wrote off over €1m on temporary office, inquiry told
The Public Accounts Committee heard that the temporary office in Birr, which housed just 17 people, was leased for 10 years in 2004 with an annual rent of €100,000 as part of the Fianna Fáil governments doomed decentralisation programme.
However, Fás had to write off some €1.1m it had invested into the temporary office in fixtures and fittings, after the decentralisation project was shelved.
