Disgraced former FÁS boss threatened legal action in bid for 'golden handshake'

The Government signed-off on a ’golden handshake’ for former FÁS chief Rody Molloy because he threatened legal action to get a €1m euro pension, it was revealed today.

The ex-director general stood down last November at the height of controversy surrounding lavish expenses by top officials at the scandal-hit state agency.
