There is a big shortage of plumbers, electricians, carpenters, blocklayers and other tradespeople in the construction industry. We have a very significant number of migrants coming into Ireland. How do we tap into their potential? How can we offer apprenticeships and so on to them? I know there might be a language barrier or other issues but I believe those issues can be overcome. Does Mr. English think we are doing enough to offer apprenticeships to migrants? They are our future carpenters, electricians, plumbers and so on.
