Almost 50 thousand euro spent by Clare councillors on three conferences will come under the spotlight today.
In a report to go before today’s meeting of the county Council, the states local government auditor says more than €48,000 was incurred by the council by members attending the conferences in 2009.
Thomas O Callaghan says the overall costs incurred for attendance at such conferences and whether value for money is being obtained by attending such events should be evaluated.
The council has published on-line records of conferences attended by councillors in 2009, which show 210 conferences and summer schools were attended.
