The Council spent nearly seven million euro on a failed IT system with the project since abandoned.

Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman has said Catherine Martin was aware of the issue prior to the election, but wanted to bring a detailed review to Cabinet before informing her colleagues of the project overspend.
