Galway Bay fm newsroom - The county council executive has been urged to investigate claims whether mistakes may have been made on the leasing or purchasing of a fleet of vans.
Tuam area councillor Donagh Killilea told a meeting of the local authority that he understands a fleet of transit vans were leased or purchased in 2017/2018 and are no longer fit for purpose.
He said he understands the vans have to be replaced with a 7.5 tonne vehicle model because the existing vans of 3.5 tonne were unable to carry heavy goods.
The Fianna Fail councillor asked officials if this would carry a significant cost due to possible mistakes being made.
County CEO Kevin kelly said the matter will be reviewed.
He added there is provision in the budget for a fleet review to ensure a number of items including value for money.
Councillor Killilea says he understands the vans are under a 3 year lease, tune in at 12 to hear more...
