    on RTE news there about HSE and SIPTU

    A Health Service Executive Internal Audit report obtained by RTÉ News has outlined a catalogue of waste of public money and serious breaches of corporate governance, financial oversight and procurement.

    The report, which was completed in June, investigated irregularities involving funds for the SKILL training programme for lower grades in the health service.

    Some of the funds were paid into an account operated by SIPTU officials.

    The auditors have instructed the HSE to recover what funds it can and say the practice of grant aiding trade union activities should be re-examined. (From RTE)

    How about prosecuting any Union officials involved? Or at least launching a criminal investigation?

    Are you really surprised! There's nothing new about this acceptable waste and corruption.

    I'm forced to point out.....
    Last year, the HSE discovered that over €2.5m of the €60m SKILL budget had been paid over to an account called the SIPTU National Health and Local Authority Levy account, operated by SIPTU officials.
    SIPTU Head Office said this was not one of its accounts.

    ...so for the moment 'union officials helping themselves at the pig trough' would be more in keeping with the facts as we know them.

    Badly inadequate OP for what is, frankly, just another union-bashing thread.

    moderately,
