Taoiseach Enda Kenny has said a situation where facilities were “abused” was unacceptable after a draft HSE audit highlighted “excessive” travel claims.
Speaking at a jobs launch announcement in Dublin on Wednesday morning, he said the HSE would have to respond to the Comptroller and Auditor General’s report.
“I understand that this is a draft report from the C&AG. Obviously the HSE have got to respond to that. Clearly you can’t have a situation where facilities like this are abused,” Mr Kenny said.
The wide-ranging 42-page audit by the Comptroller and Auditor General appears to have been erroneously circulated to Oireachtas members this week.
