25 job losses at goal charity

Irish aid agency Goal is seeking up to 25 redundancies - after what it describes as a challenging year.

In May - the Irish Government withheld millions of euro in funding from the NGO on foot of a US government investigation into its Syrian aid programme. However it has since released almost 4 million for the long term development work of the agency. Despite this - Goal says it has commenced a consultation process for up to 25 potential redundancies across all head office functions in Dublin and London.
