I worked in the construction game before entering politics so I know quite a lot about the industry. An awful lot of block layers never did an apprenticeship or anything like that. Their apprenticeship was simply starting work at 17 or 18 years of age. Can Mr. McSherry tell me if he knows of many people around his age who ditched an apprenticeship but are now doing what he is doing? I know that he is far better skilled and qualified to do this work but does he know many bricklayers who learned on the job?
