Another year, another Cork crisis: questions for tonight's board meeting

Tonight is the first meeting of the Cork County Committee of the new year, and the first at which delegates will get the opportunity to ask the county executive about the deficit facing the Cork County Board.

Readers will recall revelations in these pages before Christmas that the board’s own audit and risk sub-committee had advised the executive to inform the annual convention that the board’s deficit was more than €2.4 million, not the €560,000 figure reported by the executive.
