The process of advertising and interviewing for the appointment of a chief executive officer of a vocational education committee is a matter for the Public Appointments Service. The closing date for receipt of applications for the post referred to by the Deputy has closed. The Public Appointments Service intends to conduct interviews in the near future and is making arrangements with a view to concluding the appointment processes as speedily as possible.

Issues have been raised with my Department on the terms of reference of the inquiry referred to by the Deputy. These are being dealt with. I expect that the officer appointed to conduct the inquiry will soon be in a position to advance the matter and present a report to my Department. When the report is received, I will be considering it in advance of making it available to the VEC and other interested parties.
