FIANNA Fáil city councillor Kenneth O’Flynn has accused the Board of CIE of “monumental deception”.
Cllr O’Flynn said CIE of attempting to cover up an internal report into the workings of Iarnrod Éireann.
Cllr O’Flynn said, “The report highlights the loss of EU funds for breach of procurement rules, that missing documents are the norm, that collusion between Iarnrod Éireann staff and outside contractors is widespread, that manipulation of tenders is rife, that fraud, false invoices and gross misadventure all feature.”
“As a result of this, European funds may be clawed back, competitors who lost out in rigged tenders may sue for millions, not to mention reputational damage.”
He added, “It would be shut down in the morning. The entire affair is a scandal on a scale similar to that which took place in FÁS earlier in the year.
