We have been advised by a departmental official that Cavan and Monaghan VECs were tied in the amalgamation process until the decision was made for a new education campus in Monaghan. The current plans for this campus do not even include a VEC. Will the Minister provide information as to the criteria used in the amalgamation? What were the two VECs tied on? Cavan was leaps and bounds ahead-----
