At this time I have not had a dedicated meeting with a formal agenda with the person referred to by the Deputy. However, I met the person referred to when I informally met the CEOs of SOLAS and the Education and Training Boards prior to one of their scheduled meetings with my Department on 20th November 2018.
I have met formally with a range of key education stakeholders and my office is currently finalising arrangements for a number of further meetings. A meeting has not yet been confirmed with the person referred to but I expect this meeting to be confirmed shortly.
In relation to engagement with the further education and training sector more broadly, I formally met with Education and Training Boards Ireland (ETBI) on 5th December 2018 as well as having attended a number of events relating to the sector.
