131 Mr. Belton asked the Minister for Education and Science when his Department will sanction the appointment of a chief executive officer for Longford VEC. [6511/99]
I can confirm to the Deputy that my Department is fully supportive of the appointment of a chief executive officer by County Longford VEC. I expect that the VEC, in the normal way, will shortly request the Local Appointments Commission to arrange for the necessary competitive selection process. I should add that my Department will be in further contact with the VEC in the matter.
