Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We have a range of traditional apprenticeships which are being updated, mostly in the construction area. We have a new apprenticeship council which is looking at proposals from providers and the industry to establish new apprenticeships. We have an apprenticeship action plan to bring the new apprenticeships on board. Bringing about cultural change and embedding new types of apprenticeship within employment and further and higher education provision is a big issue. We have initiatives under way, with a number of new apprenticeships in financial services and the insurance sector already announced.
