I share the sentiments. Maybe it is an issue that could be addressed across procurement in general. It is probably a matter for the Department of public expenditure. There should be an element of ensuring that apprenticeships are in major projects. It would need to be done in general rather than specifically for the Minister's Department, I would expect. I do not know. Like the Minister, I share Deputy Kenny's sentiments, as does Deputy McGettigan.
