County officials urged to investigate leasing or purchasing of fleet of vans

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.
