Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Skills Mismatch between Industry Requirements and Third Level Courses: Discussion

2:50 pm

Mr. Tom Boland:

Yes. There is definitely something about the way Irish is taught or where it lies in the curriculum that does not give optimal outcomes. However, I am not at all knowledgeable in this regard. I will ask Dr. O'Connor to deal with the matter of doubling the output - we are close to it - as well as the ICT drop-out rate.
