Public Accounts Committee

Tipperary Education and Training Board and Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements

9:00 am

Ms Fionuala McGeever:

I go between both offices. There is no risk. We have a very robust risk register in Tipperary ETB. All senior staff go between the two offices. There is no risk. The job is done every single day. We do not have any additional office space in Nenagh. There are no tables or chairs there at which people can sit. My office has to be used for interview purposes because we are landlocked and cannot go up or down. However, we are in negotiations with various people in Nenagh via an auctioneer for several places for development of the further education centre and, possibly, a new head office. We have put the Department on notice that we need additional support in that area. It is a significant problem that the offices in Nenagh currently restrict how many people we can place there and so on. That has to be put on the record. It is not that we do not want to place people in Nenagh but that we simply do not have the space. We are desperately trying to address that.
