Ms Caitríona Murphy:

I thank the Deputy. I am glad to see our teachers are doing so well. It is great.

ETBs are embedded in the communities nationwide, as the Deputy knows. They are everywhere. In the case of all of our services within the sector, we are a huge supporter of the apprenticeship model but an awful lot of young students in our DEIS schools want to access apprenticeships and other further educational training. We do huge work with our Youthreach and community training centre students. I know this from my own case but it is replicated across the country. We had 130 last week all together in Loughlinstown Training Centre to give them all of the information about the craft apprenticeships and all other apprenticeships.
