CONCERN OVER RACE WEEK CLOSURE OF GALWAY VEC OFFICES

Date Published: 03-Aug-2012

Concerns have been raised over the race week closure of the city and county vocational educational offices.

City Councillor Padraig Conneely says attempts to contact the offices by phone were unsuccessful this week.

He then visited the city office at Island House where a notice on the door advised the branch was closed until this Tuesday August 7th.

However he says constituents advised no such notice was placed on the Athenry-based county branch.

Cllr Conneely has hit out at the closures and says no public office should be closed for Race Week at a time when students and parents need advice and support.
