A tourism-related government agency persists in breaching public procurement rules despite a stiff warning from the National Audit Office (NAO) last year.
According to new information published in the Government Gazette, the tourism Zones Regeneration Agency recruited several employees last year without any competition and against established rules.
The employees were given short-term direct contracts, renewed every few months, in what seems to be an approach to bypass rules.
Between March and September 2023, at least 13 employees were recruited and put on the government payroll through this irregular system, costing taxpayers some €150,000 in salaries.
