Aquatic Centre - Public funds are being squandered

THE murky waters of Ireland’s leaking National Aquatic Centre get cloudier by the day.

Taxpayers have every right to be furious over the Government’s failure to plug the massive leakage of money from the €62 million facility.

As a High Court judge has observed, it is “difficult to see” how €4.5 million was paid for unspecified services to a subsidiary of the centre’s parent company which had rent arrears of €1 million.
