FINGAL COUNTY COUNCIL went ahead with work on a number of multi-million euro projects without going through a competitive tender process, an audit has found.
Fingal County Council told the auditor that it would review its processes around the works, while outlining its reasoning for the actions it took. “Due to this high level of scheme complexity, there is a high potential for costly and disruptive construction claims arising,” it said. “No valuation report was sought prior to the disposal of this land interest. It is essential that the Council do not purchase or sell land without an independent valuation.”
But as with the Snugborough scheme, McMahon said the “contractor was appointed by the council without going to tender”. “To date… 23kms of protected cycleway has been delivered across Fingal. New capital codes have been set up for each job with the relevant expenditure allocated to the appropriate codes and a full reconciliation of the 3 schemes outlined above is underway.”
