Mark Wall (Labour) | Oireachtas source

I welcome all our guests. I want to start with the labour challenges that are facing them. Reference was made to this earlier. I want to concentrate on the area of apprentices and apprenticeships, acknowledging the ESB scheme. Maybe I could have a comment from all our guests, even Uisce Éireann, on any challenges for their own areas in respect of apprentices. We are hearing from different groups that there are challenges getting people into the jobs we need in order to complete the houses that we all need. I would be interested to hear from CIF and all our guests about where that is and what they are seeing on the ground, most importantly. Are there specific trades where there are challenges? I would like to get an overall view of that starting off.
