Mr. Tom Grady:

Obviously, I cannot answer for Waterford and Wexford ETB, but a mainstay of training in the Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim ETB for many years has been bus and heavy goods vehicle training through our contracted training system. We also have our ESOL, our literacy and numeracy training for the life skills end and a significant amount of the national learning network that Mr. Brownlee referred to. Those driving programmes are steady through the entire system. While I cannot speak for the Deputy's area, they are well recognised and set programmes that are there.
