Sum of Money Lost in Waterford

    A bit of a problem in Waterford at the moment, looks like somebody has either lost or taken a large sum of money

    http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2008/0422/waterford.html
    Gardaí in Waterford have been called in to investigate the alleged misappropriation of €142,000 from the Waterford GAA county board.

    A senior official in the county has resigned his position following an internal GAA investigation, which RTÉ understands has been going on for a number of months.

    An emergency county board meeting was held last night and it was confirmed that €142,000 is missing.

    The money is believed to be from All-Ireland ticket sales last year.

    Efforts have been made over the past few months to have the money returned to the county board but to date there has been no success.

    An internal Waterford GAA investigation is also underway into how this matter could have arisen.

    A spokesperson for Waterford county board said this morning that a legal writ has been issued against the now former official and Gardaí have been informed of the situation.

    It's expected that the GAA headquarters in Croke Park will also launch its own investigation

    Strong rumours down here in Waterford that the money was spent on non refundable Hotel deposits in Dublin for a weekend in September last year! :eek::pac:

    Yep, the €142k from 2006 was swept under the carpet, but when they spent another €142k making the same mistake again, then there had to be an investigation. :)

    All joking aside, a tragic end to this story today.

    Hang on, is there definite proof of that Kev?

    I don't want guys speculating even if the press are ok.

    Like I said, until there's more known I'd like it not speculated upon here on boards by members.
