Clearly, while the Department of Education and Skills funds salaries through the VEC, it appears as though it has no direct oversight of the payment of those salaries. Can the Secretary General explain to me the complexities in this regard? Are there difficulties in recovering overpayments made to VEC staff as opposed to staff in other second level sectors?
