Today the Department of Education was before the PAC. We were examining in particular the chapters of their vote concerning Public-Private Partnerships in the education sector and legacy issues regarding overpayment of teachers. Colleagues also took the opportunity to raise school transport issues, SUSI and the Department’s payment system. I raised the following matters: retired teachers acting as substitutes, fee-paying schools and governance irregularities at Cork County VEC; click here to watch a video of my contribution.
