178 Deputy Stephen Donnelly asked the Minister for Education and Skills, with regard to the decision to make Wicklow Vocational Education Committee a sub-office of the newly merged VEC for Counties Wicklow and Kildare, the criteria used to decide whether Wicklow or Kildare should host the main VEC centre; the weighting that was allocated to each criterion; how each VEC scored against these criteria; if a cost analysis was done as part of the decision making process; the amount that was forecast to be saved by basing the main VEC centre in Kildare rather than in Wicklow; if he will release the full cost analysis that was done, including all input assumptions; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the staff in Wicklow learned about the decision through the news media; if he is satisfied that this is an appropriate way to treat staff; and the rationale for releasing the decision to the media first.
