Mr. Tom Grady:

The three ETBs in the west and north west - Donegal, Galway and Roscommon, and Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim - have a collaboration with the Atlantic Technological University. One of the main tertiary programmes that is designed and delivered by both of us is nursing. Places on the tertiary programmes have been very healthy over the last couple of years. In our case, it is based on a post-leaving certificate delivery and higher education delivery. It does not come under the canopy of an apprenticeship at present.
