Mr. Darragh O'Connor:

There are men studying early years education at the moment. I have been in those lecture halls and ask how many people are going into the sector. It is frightening how many people put their hands up. It is around 10% and none of the men in the room ever put their hands up. They either look at the sector and decide to do teaching or something else. You have to get them into training and then you have to make the career attractive for them as well. It looks like the first bit is working. Strides are definitely being made in that but there seems to be a bit of bottleneck then.
