The last formal meeting I held with the Chief Executive Officer of SOLAS was on 5 April 2017. This meeting was scheduled to discuss the draft SOLAS Corporate Plan 2017 - 2019.

I also meet the CEO of SOLAS at certain launches, announcements or visits to Further Education and Training settings. I last met the CEO at a visit to the Dublin Dun Laoghaire Education and Training Board training centre in Baldoyle in the context of the European Vocational Skills Week 2017.

Regular meetings take place between officials from my department and SOLAS under the Performance Delivery Agreement between SOLAS and my Department.

I have no upcoming meetings scheduled at this time with the CEO of SOLAS.
