Mr. Shane Rooney:

On Senator Kelleher's question as to whether there is an interdepartmental area within the Department of Education and Skills, as part of the ongoing career guidance review, we have been asked about the remits of the Departments of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Employment Affairs and Social Protection and Education and Skills. One suggested action is more co-operation between those Departments for an interdepartmental approach to guidance and adult guidance provision. That needs to happens in order that resources are not being doubled and are being used as effectively as possible.
