County Cork VEC receive 60-100 Million Euro per year from the Department of Education and Skills.

The Department of Education and Skills cannot compel County Cork VEC to investigate or even respond to complaints from staff members or members of the public despite the huge amount of funding received by County Cork VEC and despite the fact the decisions made by County Cork VEC have serious consequences for individuals and communities.

 

County Cork VEC does not fall within the remit of the Ombudsman. Freedom of Information does not apply to County Cork VEC.

 

An independent transparent complaints process should be implemented by County Cork VEC to help people with serious complaints against County Cork VEC and to make County Cork VEC accountable to the taxpayer.

 

County Cork VEC Committee must start representing their local communities by asking questions and demanding answers of County Cork VEC Executive.

The feedback received from concerned residents highlights a recurring frustration regarding the lack of oversight surrounding these public funds. I am currently compiling these experiences to present a formal request for transparency to the committee members. Please monitor this page for further developments regarding this institutional accountability.

The response to this initiative has highlighted a profound desire for greater oversight regarding public funds. This momentum signals that the community is no longer willing to accept limited accountability. We are preparing to present these grievances to the relevant authorities.

Need real transparency. The public is paying for this and we deserve to know how decisions are being made in Cork.
