UCC and Taxis
I read a fascinating story about overspending in Irish Universities – ‘Worrying’ level of overspending at Irish universities, says TD.
The most surprising revelation related to UCC:
The deputy was particularly critical of the University College Cork’s €138,000 spend on taxis in the 12-month period.
It really is depressing to see (yet again) that some in the public service do not yet have an understanding of where their money comes from, and the price that we are all paying for it :(
I really would love somebody to be held accountable for this, but unfortunately accountability is not valued in Ireland :(

Given the track record of Tribunal costs, I would have thought accountability to be highly lucrative in Ireland.
