Wall Cost Sparks Accountability Push | Dublin News

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council’s €660,000 wall in Marlay Park has sparked outrage—and a call for urgent reform. John Brady, chair of the Public Accounts Committee, demands stronger oversight, citing this as part of a troubling pattern of wasteful spending, from RTÉ missteps to sky-high CEO pay. The root issue? Outdated laws that leave local councils, which handle billions, largely unaccountable to the Comptroller and Auditor General. Brady’s committee is now pushing to expand its powers, adopt a “follow the money” strategy, and benchmark global best practices to ensure every public dollar is scrutinized. The goal? Full accountability for all public bodies and a restored public trust in how taxpayer money is spent. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
