Campbeltown to Ballycastle Ferry Service: written authority - March 2005

Written authority and formal request between the Accountable Officer and Minister for Enterprise, Transport and Lifelong Learning regarding the Campbeltown to Ballycastle Ferry Service. A Written Authority is provided to Accountable Officers by Ministers in circumstances when delivering an action is inconsistent with the Accountable Officer’s Duties and a ministerial direction on the specific action is required to continue.


Introduction

In light of the financial and economic appraisals that had been carried out officials had advised Ministers that, with a high subsidy requirement and a low level of forecast employment creation, the project did not pass the value for money appraisals that were applied to such proposals. A 2002 written authority did not cover a tendering exercise as it was effectively spent at the conclusion of that tendering exercise.

Therefore, on 30 January 2005, Accountable Officer Nicole Stephen sent Eddie Frizzell, Enterprise, Transport and Lifelong Learning a written authority regarding the Campbeltown to Ballycastle Ferry Service. Download a copy of the written authority and a copy of the formal request.
