Is it possible to furnish those two reports from May 2023 and May 2021, the Indecon report and the OECD report, to the committee? My interest with the National Training Fund specifically relates to SOLAS. We have had a lot of engagement with the various stakeholders in the national training sphere here in the PAC and, at times, there seems to be a lack of joined-up thinking between certain agencies, particularly between the ETBs and SOLAS. What specifically does the Department have in place with SOLAS? Is there an SLA in place? Has the Department set targets for SOLAS to reach or is it purely for SOLAS to set its own targets? Are the targets ultimately being reached?
