Since the establishment of the Upskilling Co-ordination Group, there have been 10 meetings of the group to date and minutes have been taken and circulated at each meeting.

Organisations have been represented by different individuals at the 10 meetings of the group due to some individuals not being available to attend. Appendix A lists the names and organisations of those who attended each meeting. The Department of Enterprise Trade and Innovation held the meetings of the group in their offices in Dublin 2. However, since the Government restructuring earlier this year, the Department of Education and Skills chaired the last meeting which was held in Marlborough Street. It should be noted that neither Department has paid travel and subsistence costs incurred by individuals attending meetings of the group.

The Upskilling Co-ordination Group directly informs the ongoing monitoring and implementation of the National Skills Strategy through the participation of officials of my Department on the Group.
