-----in comparison with other things. I want to ask about apprenticeships. One could look at apprenticeship as totally different from third level or as part of the third level system. It has always been part of, say, the Dublin Institute of Technology. People can go from apprenticeship into third level and further education. Therefore it is important. Ballyfermot has a low participation rate at third level but that may be because Ballyfermot College of Further Education provides some third level qualifications.
