Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Perry: The reason I raise this point is that proportionately, more money and funding goes to the ETBI schools, at a considerably higher level per student, than to the other two authorities within the school sector.

Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Perry: No. My final point pertains to the role of Mr. Owens in Cork. It is an important point on the recommendation of a school building programme and the role of investment by the Department in this regard. I am familiar with this issue from experience arising from another application. What role has Mr. Owens with regard to his recommendation pertaining to the disbursement of building funds?...

Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Perry: On that point on the devolved authority, I refer to the devolved authority Mr. Owens now has. Many people do not understand this point when it comes to the authority he has and I refer to the devolved authority within the other 16 jurisdictions as to what to prioritise. How is the ranking done in this regard? Who sits on that board with the devolved authority?

Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Perry: To conclude, and I thank the Chairman, the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General affords a good opportunity. Unfortunately, for anybody from the outside who looked at that report and the nine major issues, bad management and incompetence were evident in all the different chapters of that report. As the Chairman said, it is very important for the future that it is not just a name...
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 89
Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Perry: Has the ETBI any service level agreements signed with any other State entity for a service to be delivered by the ETBI, such as SOLAS? What service level agreements have been signed with regard to the operation of the ETBI schools? Are they in-house services?

Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Perry: Would it be possible to forward a copy of the service level agreement to the Chairman? The service level agreement is quite a revealing document. Does it not deal with the positions and the ranking of staff as well?
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 89
Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Perry: From the Comptroller and Auditor General's point of view, that service level agreement is a different source of funding from the ETBI's. Is that correct?

Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Perry: Will the Comptroller and Auditor General be carrying out an audit on the SOLAS aspect of funding?
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 89
Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Perry: Chairman, I am glad I raised that point. This is a new service level agreement. Getting agreement is a contentious issue. It is a new stream of funding and it is a new mechanism of training and qualification. It will be a replacement for Youthreach in many ways because it is dealing with the apprenticeship area. Is that correct?
- Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 89
Internal Control in County Cork Vocational Education Committee (9 Jul 2015) John Perry: The reason I am making this point is that there are fundamental changes with the ETBI and the mindset regarding funding. It is a fundamental shift in the level of apprenticeship, given the necessities and the skills demand. With regard to the Comptroller and Auditor General and the Chairman of the Committee of Public Accounts, it is an entirely new way of operation for the boards. It is...
