Ms Mary Hurley:
If public funds had been lost or some individual had personally benefited, there would be no question that we would report that to the Garda. We took the view we would report it to the Local Government Audit Service and NOAC. We then engaged with Mayo County Council on recovering the money and on the council improving its practices.
