25 Goal jobs to go after ‘tough’ year

Irish aid agency Goal is seeking up to 25 redundancies after a “challenging” 2016.

The agency released a statement on the matter yesterday which said it is taking steps to restore confidence in the charity after last year’s events.

Last April, Goal and other charities were ordered to halt procurement in Syria (using some US funds) because the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) had started an investigation into alleged bribery and bid rigging.
