Vote 26 - Department of Education and Skills (28 Feb 2013) Gerald Nash: Is the Secretary General satisfied with the performance of the City of Dublin Vocational Education Committee? There was an open tendering process for this. CDVEC, like other VECs across the country, does valuable and excellent work and stands on its record, but this particular project has not been its finest hour. Clearly, it and the Department have lessons to learn. The public will be...

Vote 26 - Department of Education and Skills (28 Feb 2013) Gerald Nash: Clearly, in light of what the Secretary General is telling us this morning and in light of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report, there may be a major challenge in the context of any second Croke Park agreement.

Vote 26 - Department of Education and Skills (28 Feb 2013) Gerald Nash: 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?

It would be fair to say that for many Members, the...

Vote 26 - Department of Education and Skills (28 Feb 2013) Gerald Nash: I welcome the witnesses to this morning's meeting.

For example, if a teacher had worked in a VEC, did the Department did not have an adequate record of their income, their incremental pay scale or anything of that nature? Did the Department not have sufficient information?
