Tonight on #rtept, as global warming threatens our very existence, we ask who should carry the can for the cost of carbon.
AND as a Kerry farmer is jailed for killing his neighbour over a crow banger, what questions does the case raise about provocation as a legal defence?

In Swinford, 8 yrs after fraudulent overclaims were discovered at Scoil Muire agus Padraig of over €239,000, not one cent has yet been repaid – an overpayment plan is still under negotiation.

Last year the Dept of Social Protection was informed the DPP had decided not to prosecute Fr Convey - “On the basis of the Garda investigation file it was decided that there was insufficient evidence to prosecute.” #rteinvestigates #rtept pic.twitter.com/Dltvo47QS5

The Dept of Social Protection initially estimated €646000 was falsely claimed by St Nathy's College under the school meals scheme. Yet in 2013 a repayment agreement was made for €294000. Emails seen by #rteinvestigates show confusion in the Dept as to how this figure was agreed pic.twitter.com/M26W94dbG6

Circulars are sent to schools to remind them school meals funding must be spent on food alone. However Fr Convey said he had misinterpreted the scheme’s rules arguing he could use the money for other purposes including at one point hedge cutting services #rteinvestigates #rtept pic.twitter.com/f92Ua67bkD

At St Nathy’s College an audit of school meals under the DEIS scheme from 2006-2011 uncovered that principal Fr Convey repeatedly submitted claims based on inflated pupil numbers. Investigators estimated the overclaim on the food grant was over €646,000 #rteinvestigates #rtept pic.twitter.com/gcbTI0gq08

The former principal was fined €15,000 – in sentencing him, the judge commented he could not condone what John Gallagher had done, saying he was “almost lost for words” as to the ease with which department funds could be so easily abused and misdirected. #rteinvestigates #rtept pic.twitter.com/VbED8KuMHa

The Department’s investigation concluded that over 3 yrs the school had overclaimed on the meals scheme in the region of €416,500. The overclaims were reported by the Dept to Gardaí – an investigation ensued and a file was sent to the DPP. #rteinvestigates #rtept

In 2009 Scoil Muire agus Padraig’s then principal John Gallagher retired, but when the new principal took over, the number of lunches claimed for tumbled by a drop of more than 80%, from 1,606 lunches to 297 in 2009/2010 #rteinvestigates #rtept pic.twitter.com/WXqpGfBoPw

However St Nathy’s wasn’t the only school to find itself in hot water over false funding claims – just 20 minutes down the road in the second-level Scoil Muire agus Padraig in Swinford Co Mayo, financial irregularities had already come to the fore.

.@AodhanORiordain “That’s not victimless, because there’s children all over the State who need that money. The children who go to the school I used to teach in need that money, children in every DEIS school in the country need that money.” #rteinvestigates #rtept

In an attempt to hide some of the additional payments, the principal Fr Convey made claims in the name of a relative of one of the retired teachers as if the relative was also teaching at the school – but she had in fact never worked there. #rteinvestigates #rtept
