Waterford Council bought 63 vans for no reason

There have been calls for the publication of an internal Waterford City and County Council probe into how €1.5m was spent on 63 new vans for no specific reason, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith.

Sinn Féin TD David Cullinane said more transparency is needed after the council refused to explain how it has addressed the issue, declined to provide any details on how the mistake happened, and if the taxpayer has been left with an unnecessary cost.
