Just to clarify, someone has absconded with Money raised for a trip away for the Bohs Schoolboys? A Bohs employee is it?

By Bohs won't take responsibility, I assume you mean that they won't stump up to replace the money that was raised? I'll leave the question of whether they should have had theft insurance in place to one side, but why exactly should Bohs be stumping up here? Isn't it a matter for the guards to find the money and get it returned at this stage?

The Bohs representative that was on said they were told by the Gardai that if they paid the money back the case might collapse so they're not paying it, yet anyway.

Didn't someone allegedly do a runner with their bar takings a while back?. It's so hard to get good staff these days..

That's what I thought, I don't see the why they should hand over anything.
Also, the theft was outside of their control to a degree, you have to trust your staff not to do leggers like this.
How much money was it?

In fairness Pete, if it's been on the Joe Duffy show what role the person held, we're only discussing something that's already well in the public domain.

Whats not fair is this 'coach' running off with money donated to fund a trip away for the underage squad. Should be named and shamed IMO.

**drummerboy** · 17/02/2009, 2:22 PM

In fairness, the club rep said that he intended recommending to the board the money will be paid back in full.

Christ the guy who took the money must be in a dire financial state to take the money from a bunch of kids.

The Bohs director responsible for the schoolboy set up walked out of their AGM (or a similar thing) because of their lack of action over the section. I understand the head coach resigned (or perhaps didn't have his contract renewed)

Wasn't that walkout more to do with the board consistently ignoring the schoolboys section rather than this individual incident though?

Sounds like sean connor stumbled across some cash when coming back to pick up a few things

"because of their lack of action over the section"

**pineapple stu** · 17/02/2009, 2:42 PM

Were Bohs drinking last night and working this morning?

(I know I was...)

Have to agree with tiktok if the facts are as outlined. But then getting your information second hand from the Joe Duffy show isn't exactly the most reliable of sources.

The latter if I'm thinking of the same fella.

**Dodge** · 17/02/2009, 3:00 PM

Yeah, I meant about how things were generally, and thanks for clarifying the head coach thing. I know the director was very upset about it though

BTW I wasn't trying to point score and hope evrything works out for the kids

I assume this is a poor attempt at a wind up and/or you are journo looking for another crappy story about a LOI club.

Bohs U-8's had paid deposits of approximately 2,500. for a trip to Spain & when said trip was cancelled bohs gave the money to the team manager to repay. This manager kept the money. Matter reported to gardai. Bohs told to hold off on repayment as this could affect future prosecution. Gardai since said a one off payment should be ok & this is likely to be approved this week.

Further payments depending on what the gardai investigation uncovers my be made at a later date
