Great. Mr. Joyce might answer this question. Are there specific recommendations on the further education provision and how it can do more? I know from dealing with further education there is flexibility to allow local colleges of further education to meet the needs of the communities and such flexibility may not be available in higher education. Does Mr. Joyce believe strengthening the pathways to further and higher education, as was outlined with respect to Ms Reilly, would be of benefit? A great deal of money is being invested in the development of apprenticeships and broadening the range of them available. Do they meet the needs of some of the Traveller community? Are there specific changes that need to be made there?
