Public Accounts Committee

Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board: Financial Statements 2015

9:00 am

Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We were getting this checked, but my understanding is the ETB approached us and that we approved the lease. It may not be that there is a value for money or an appropriate use question. We also understand there is a buy-out option included in the lease. That is my understanding, but I am checking because I was not aware of this detail. We can come back to the committee on the matter, but, obviously, the ETB needs the approval of the Department to enter into a lease. Whether it is an issue of value for money having worked it through with the Department and the board, we will come back with the information.
