Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We have discussed some of those here before. We agree that there certainly have been some control issues in relation to County Cork VEC. We have been working with the VEC and the ETB on resolving those over the past two years. The committee should not believe we are not working extremely hard with the ETB to resolve these issues. We had discussions with the CEO of the ETB on these issues on quite a few occasions over the past few years. We have had a large number of internal meetings to seek to obtain updates about each of the areas that was being identified. It is not that we are just waiting for somebody to write to us and tell us something has gone wrong. We are working very closely with the ETB in ensuring the issues are resolved and addressed and to learn from systems issues that arise as a result.
