Cork VEC urged to outline plan to reclaim €115k

Internal documents have revealed the pressure County Cork VEC is under to stem losses at two controversial projects.

The Department of Education has demanded an explanation for how CCVEC intends to claim back more than €115,000 wrongly paid to students and staff at Macroom Youthreach.

CCVEC has also been told it is not feasible to continue to pay to keep a flagship sail training vessel in dry dock and it should be destroyed if it cannot be re-floated.
