VEC gets legal advice over reports
The 24-person committee voted overwhelmingly, but not unanimously, to allow the executive of County Cork VEC’s [CCVEC] to source legal counsel on this basis. No budget has been published for these services and it is not known if the contract will be put out to tender.
The decision to bring in a lawyer was taken after a series of articles exposed problems with spending and money management at schools and youthreach facilities under the auspices of CCVEC.
