I thank the witnesses for coming here today. It is a very complex area. Like my colleague, I taught in the Institute of Technology in Blanchardstown alongside those in many of the craft areas.

Dr. Collins mentioned the number of new apprenticeships. Dr. Trant mentioned a new apprenticeship called modern methods of construction and said there are another 28 apprenticeships in the pipeline. If we, say, came together to create a consortium of employers and said we see an opportunity for a new apprenticeship, how long would it take to go from the first conversation between the group and SOLAS to being able to start hiring?
