County council spent millions on road projects without a tender process, report says

A report by

Eoghan Dalton

The details are contained in an audit carried out by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.

The work included €1.245 million for an engineering firm and a further €1.1 million paid to consultants for a separate roads upgrade.

A Local Government auditor also criticised the council for proceeding with a €350,000 land swap with a local GAA club "without an independent valuation" of the four-hectare site offloaded by the local authority.

Fingal County Council told the auditor that it would review its processes for future projects, but defended the actions it took.
