Just so I can clarify as well, over the past four years I have built up a great relationship with Donegal ETB and it is very visible. Again though, we need to put measures in place for young people to have the equality of opportunity to be successful in going on to apprenticeship courses. I wanted to be really clear on that. Donegal ETB is doing absolutely brilliantly for higher and further education. I am very passionate about all the ETBs. For people from the Traveller community and other ethnic minority groups, it can genuinely be a lifeline in getting a further education.

One more question has come to my mind. It is on people from the Traveller community participating in courses in the North and how that would be supported. That is one more question and it does not need to be answered now. A reply via email would be absolutely fine.
