Joe Flaherty (FF), Longford-Westmeath

I thank the Minister. I welcome the second half of the group of sixth year pupils from the Newtown Forbes national school, Scoil Mhuire. I am conscious that the last meeting of the council took place in October. At that time, there was a discussion on potential policy directions for priority under the theme of strengthening the governance to build a joined-up skills ecosystem. The discussion centred on three key points, namely, promoting a whole-of-government and strategic approach to skills policy, supporting effective engagement with stakeholders throughout the skills policy cycle and strengthening the collective use and dissemination of skills information. I would be most interested to hear the Minister's views on any outcomes of these discussions and if there are any actions the Department can build on from them.
