I chair an Implementation Group which is drawing up an Action Plan for the establishment of SOLAS, which, when established, will operate under the aegis of the Department of Education and Skills and co-ordinate and fund the wide range of further education and training programmes around the country. The nature and type of those programmes, including Youthreach, will be matters for discussion between my Department, SOLAS and Vocational Education Committees (VECs), who will ultimately be responsible for the delivery to the public in an integrated way of both further education and training programmes.
