Minister of State at the Department of Education and Skills

My Department is aware of correspondence received from an individual employed by Waterford Wexford Education and Training Board (WWETB) in relation to the area of further education and training.

My Department is considering the issues raised but has advised the individual that on an initial review it does not appear that issues referred to in this correspondence contain details of a protected disclosure, but rather relate to ongoing employment difficulties between the individual and their employer WWETB.

As such my Department has advised this individual to write to the Adjudicator of the Workplace Relations Commission.
