Probe launched into Galway County Board accounts

An internal audit is under way into the accounts of the Galway County Board after concerns were raised at a recent meeting.

It is understood they relate to the “governance of Galway GAA in general”, which was raised in a report compiled early last year at the behest of chairman Pat Kearney.

There had been suggestions that an external auditor be appointed to assess the books but for now an internal audit has commenced and should be completed by next month.
