The position regarding SOLAS is a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Education & Skills.

As part of the new integrated service to customers of the Department, jobseekers will have the opportunity to engage with a case officer who will have full knowledge of the education and training facilities available locally and will be in a position to refer them to a particular course where appropriate.
