A report found that €500,000 set aside for projects by Birdwatch Ireland was not used in that manner. In one case the money was used to pay staff because it did not have enough funds in its bank account at the time. Picture: Annette McDonnell
More than half a million euros that was earmarked for specific projects in Birdwatch Ireland was not used for those projects according to an investigation by the Charities Regulator.
