Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

Deputy, that comes back to the challenge they have had. There were three education and training boards, ETBs, where there were no amalgamations but they took on significant training functions from the former FÁS. There were challenged on a number of factors, which I referred to in the opening statement. I can certainly talk through those in more detail. We have tried to assist them with a number of interim measures to ensure they were supported both on a system basis and on a staffing basis to the greatest extent possible. Yes, they have been finding it difficult. Yes, they are improving and yes we need them to improve more.
