What a wonderful interview. Make sure to listen back to our SOLAS colleagues, Caroline Jones and Gay O'Connor speaking on the latest episode of Insight The Stripped Back Podcast speaking about their amazing work with InHouse Harmony - the inside/ outside choir collaboration with Mountjoy Prison and many SOLAS' diversity and inclusion intiatives through the People Team that are supporting us to create a truly meaningful diverse and inclusive workplace culture in SOLAS.

Great day of collaboration, conversation and workshopping at the recent Government 'Funding the Future: The Cost of Education' event, led by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science. Wonderful to have stakeholder representatives from Government, the NAO (Apprenticeship Ireland), SOLAS (An tSeirbhís Oideachais Leanúnaigh agus Scileanna), Higher Education Authority, Further Education and Training (FET) partners, Technological Higher Education Association (THEA), Minister James Lawless TD:; and AONTAS, the National Adult Learning Organisation in attendance, where #GenerationApprenticeship apprentices and #learners across #FET and #HE were given a platform to share their experience of learning and the financial challenges learners face. A great day or workshopping had to understand and identify potential measures that can help to support many times of learners and address financial barriers to education. Well done to all #students and #apprentices who shared their journey.

The Equaliser! In this powerful episode, we chat with Caroline Jones and Gay O'Connor from SOLAS (An tSeirbhís Oideachais Leanúnaigh agus Scileanna) about the transformative impact of music within Mountjoy Prison. Singing in unison—prisoners and Solas staff—created a moment of pure connection, equality, and healing that will never be forgotten. Episode drops Monday, April 7th on all major platforms.

Great to meet with colleagues and friends at the launch of TOSÚ (formerly known as IASIO) at the Mansion House this week, to hear about their strategy: New beginnings for people with convictions. This event highlights the strong network of people in the prison service, the probation service and the community who work together to help support people with criminal convictions, as they set out on new beginnings of hope and sustained change. SOLAS (An tSeirbhís Oideachais Leanúnaigh agus Scileanna) Spéire Nua Mr Price Group Tosú - new beginnings for people with convictions in Ireland
