Ulster grant investigation reveals funding irregularities

An investigation into grants awarded to the Ulster Camogie Council should have been treated as a fraud probe, according to yesterday’s report to the Northern Ireland Assembly by the NI comptroller and auditor-general, Kieran Donnelly.

Council chairperson, Catherine O’Hara has responded to revelations of financial impropriety by stating that it was the organisation’s current executive that drew attention to possible problems and that all unused funding had been repaid.
