Dept 'has not pursued' report on FÁS site purchase

The Department of Finance said it has not yet pursued findings of a report from the Comptroller and Auditor General which found that FÁS paid more than double the recommended price for a site for a new headquarters in Co Offaly.

The land in Birr was among 12 sites costing almost €44m bought across the country for the decentralisation programme - which is now not going ahead.
