We need to discuss the backlog of apprenticeships. This is a question for IBEC or ISME. There are concerns about the backlog of apprenticeships given the shortage craft apprenticeships, qualified electricians, plumbers and carpenters, which feeds into the need for such workers for housing building. Regarding science, how can we ensure those who go on to third level to do science can take up medicine after that?. That is probably a bigger conversation.
