Someone has been investing in some time machines. The current amount, however, is only at 62% of capacity. That has me deeply concerned, as does the 17% drop in enrolments compared to the previous year. When I look at the courses which are provided, there are nine schools in this education and training board, ETB, and only two are providing PLC courses. Nine of these courses are in Templemichael College in Longford and seven are in Mullingar Community College. There is a 40 km odd difference if one happens to want to go from one to the other and heaven forbid one is in another part of either county.
