Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 April 2004
440 Mr. O’Dowd asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of administrative VEC staff not including school clerical staff who were based in Drogheda in the former Drogheda VEC offices compared to the number who are presently working in Drogheda and employed by the County Louth VEC. [11990/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraStaff in the vocational education sector are allocated to VECs on a scheme basis. It is a matter for each vocational education committee to deploy its staff in the best manner possible to meet the needs of its scheme.
The deployment of administrative VEC staff to Drogheda is a matter for County Louth VEC. My Department has been informed by County Louth VEC that there were four administrative staff in the former town of Drogheda VEC offices. Currently there are two full-time staff allocated to the Drogheda office by the VEC with additional support supplied as required.
