O’Keeffe: Déise tighten belts but still record loss

Waterford County Board recorded a loss of €212,271 in their 2012 accounts which will be presented to tomorrow night’s annual convention in Dungarvan.

After suffering a €120,000 shortfall in 2011, county secretary Timmy O’Keeffe outlined the cash difficulties the county faces in his report.

“The management of the finances of the board continue to be a serious challenge for the county. All costs have to be scrutinised carefully. Tight control must be kept over all expenditure whether it is in administration or team preparation.
