A damning report by Deloitte on the leisure services at a civic council in Belfast has sparked a significant internal row.
Disagreements have festered in the Craigavon Civic Centre, one of Ulster's main district councils, with two directors and a principal officer lodging official grievances.
Deloitte's confidential report points that things are so bad, that 'the council is at risk of failures of delivery service', the Belfast Telegraph reported.
The report also says that restructuring in the department has taken place with no clear justification or regard for cost, and certain procedures have not been followed.
'Relationships, morale and motivation are very poor. Stress levels are high, as are fear and mistrust. A culture of raising grievances rather than solving problems has developed,' the report adds.
There have been no fewer than 18 grievances lodged within the council leisure services department, which is also the largest department within the council.
