As is normal practice, on my appointment as Minister for Education I was provided with a detailed briefing document in relation to all aspects of the Department. In addition, I had a series of briefing meetings with all of my senior officials in relation to their individual areas of responsibility. While I have been in contact with my colleague the former Minister for Education and Skills a formal handover meeting was not required.
