I did not see those apprenticeships on the list of agriculture apprenticeships. We definitely need those apprenticeships because we all depend on Irish farming for our food three times a day. It has been recognised by farmers' associations recently that people leaving the sector represents a huge crisis. Is there anything more we can do to keep young people in the sector and encourage them? Most farmers do not encourage their children to go into farming because it is a life of poverty.

I see that two of the courses listed are pipe fitting and a level 6 four-year course on industrial insulation. Do our guests have information on retrofitting courses? Do the courses tie in with retrofitting? The training centre in Enniscorthy provides training courses on nearly zero energy buildings, NZEBs. The centre is ranked alongside places like New York and Montreal. Who would have thought that Enniscorthy would be spoken of in the same breath of such places in terms of training? Do our guests have information on that in terms of retrofitting? I ask because retrofitting will be a big area in the future.
