Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:
I think that the number of VECs that we had initially, 38 and then down to 33, meant that they were just too small to be able to make a difference. Indeed, as well as that they did not have responsibility for the training that was delivered by FÁS.
The combining of those two areas has meant there is much more coherence in having both a bottom-up local planning approach and a strategic approach from SOLAS on the further education and training side.
