Ms Evelyn O'Connor:

To add to what Ms Murtagh has said, business and industry, and the various discipline areas, are all represented on our implementation advisory group, which oversaw, as Ms Murtagh mentioned, the development of the plan, in the first instance, but also oversee implementation. We do tend to work very closely. We have our business and industry subgroup. We have worked very closely with them to even come up with the actions in the first place.

On apprenticeships, there are a lot more apprenticeships available now than what there was in the past and the apprenticeship.iewebsite gives loads of information. I know, for example, that guidance counsellors are working very hard to give that kind of information to students so that students will be more aware of the various pathways, including through apprenticeships and, indeed, the pathways that lead on from that.
