Bothar charity gifts. That goat ad

There was one charity giving licence to fundraise on it’s behalf for a set fee.
A collector guaranteed them x amount a month and then the collector kept the excess. Sounded really dodgy to me at the time.

A surge in early trading sees Moloney slashed to 4/6 for the prestigious COTY.

He’ll be very hard beat.

Is this Ireton fella ineligible now?

He’s about to get blamed for the worst excesses of this, would hardly be fair

Dunno. He set it up but it looks like he was able to manage it while fleecing it. Looks like the new boy got greedy and ramped it up, leading to him getting caught!

Disgraceful behaviour and damaging to Irish charities like our own. It is an extremely tough fundraising environment at the moment particularly for smaller charities working in the developing world. Scandals like this only perpetuate challenges when need is at its greatest.

Charity close to home is a load of bollocks as well,
It’s our duty to help those who need it most, if that means we occasionally put our trust into absolute rogues then so be it.

Don’t be quitting on third world charity because of shit like this, talk about an overreaction.

Was Bothar not audited ?

Fraud is one thing and hard to stop but fraud over years and years should be spotted after the second or at a stretch third audit

You’d be some fool to hand over money to any charity right now if you werent certain who is on the ground ensuring its is going where it should be going.

Your man had developed a fake paper trail. I assume they were easy to pass off as legitimate payments until a proper forensic investigation took place.

Yes. For the most part, we (in the ‘western world’) have it incredibly well. This wouldn’t stop me firing money to the developing world. Ray and the lads are my official charity of choice now.

little did you know that there was a real rain coming…

Sure da boss knew poor ould Brian wasn’t going to last and the money would be better spent by himself rather than some doctor in the US

The auditors have a lot to answer for.
