McGlone: Proper accountability required with public purse

SDLP member of the Public Accounts Committee and Deputy Leader Patsy McGlone MLA has said the public is concerned about the wastage of public money by local councils.

The Mid Ulster MLA said: “There is concern in the public, especially in these difficult times facing the pain of a tough budget. People are concerned when it comes to the public purse.

“Matters of poor expenditure and fraud need to be investigated further by the appropriate authorities, with prosecution if required. There needs to be appropriate accountability.”
