On Deputy Higgins's point, I believe that people can apply for apprenticeships now on the Central Applications Office, the CAO. I reiterate Mr. Curran's points that those trades jobs are highly skilled and highly technical. I would give it longer, and if one went into those jobs now there would be 30 or 40 years employment ahead when one comes out of the training, in renewable energies, retrofitting and construction.
