Public servants should not be watching those movies.
Why not? A public servant can do whever they like once they have done their days work. Just because they are away on business it doesn't mean that they have to work 24/7
Public servants should not be watching those movies.
I am sure that many of the staff working in FAS, and many other state and semi-state bodies feel the double frustration of seeing how the resources that they need are being wasted and being tarred with the same brush as the guys who see nothing wrong with spending around a quarter of a million Euro a year on travel and expenses.
There are a number of police investigations under way. Maybe the blacked out sections relate to those?I had to laugh when I heard about the blacked-out entries in the accounts. It reminded me of something involving Jason Bourne, CIA, covert ops, 'the company', plausible deniability, etc . . .
You can see the scene now . . . senior people sitting in front of the public account committee, telling them that there are some things they can't discuss, some things that it's better nobody knew about, national security, etc . . .
You want the truth ? You want the truth ? You can't handle the truth . . .
This is FAS, what on earth could they be doing that would warrant blacking-out in the accounts ? Maybe changing their training profile and moving into lego house construction or something that would really annoy one of their current interest groups.

I agree. He’s from Birr, down the road from Brian. This sort of “I know him well, he’s a descent skin” attitude is sickening.Cowan could come to deeply regret supporting him like he did.
Sweet. Bring on the Irish space program.
SHOTGUN!
From today’s Irish Times “the Fás Science Challenge project, which spent over €600,000 on transatlantic travel for the director general of Fás, Rody Molloy, his wife and senior Fás executives in a four-year period.” If this is the case then it’s €600’000 for Mr Molloy and an unknown number of other executives. This changes everything; it may not be that big a deal after all....
then nearly one years leave with pay while the constructive dismissal action was dealt with.
