Mr. Tim Horgan:

I can base my answer on my own experience at Munster Technological University. The challenges we face with upskilling are very simple. They relate to space for laboratories, workshops and recreational areas for apprentices. The infrastructure we have has been there since 1974. It has not changed. We have facilities with male-only toilets and poor disability access. There are no changing facilities and no recreational space for students, yet we are asked to take in more and more students. It is a big ask and it is going to stop at some stage because we will reach breaking point and we will not be able to take in further students.
