A decision in principle was made some time ago that the payment of pensions and gratuities for VEC staff should transfer from the local authorities to the relevant Vocational Education Committees. My Department has been engaged in discussions with the Irish Vocational Education Association, with a view to the implementation of this decision. My Department is currently considering proposal received from the IVEA on the matter.
