Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

This is an operational matter for the Cork Education and Training Board (CETB) and I have asked CETB to contact the Deputy directly to clarify the position. However, I understand from CETB that they have relocated adult education services from this centre to another location in Fermoy and the level of service provided will not be affected by the move.
