he has broken his silence about the victimisation he received after he raised concerns about behaviour in the organisation.“It was like a cancer running through the organisation,” he said. “So many people within icare were so self-interested.”
Mr McCann kept extensive diary notes and paperwork from 2016 to 2018 detailing specific incidents relating to mismanagement and compliance breaches and the many executives that he told. Some still work there. “'F--- this, f--- that’ — how dare you come in here and tell me this,” Mr McCann says the executive screamed at him.
Icare’s chief executive John Nagle resigned on August 3 after revelations he had been sanctioned by the board for "deficient" disclosure of a contract awarded to his wife without a tender and a trip to Las Vegas funded by a vendor without declaring it.
