Mr. Pat Twomey:

I am aware that there is a big shortage there all right. I got planning two weeks ago for a home and as we move forward in building the house there are not a lot of tradespeople in the locality, never mind younger lads. They are not there for that kind of work. There could be more driven on to it. Having said that, the sister took up a trade. She is doing a sparky trade. It is kind of half and half but there could be more driven on to it to get more young lads going into it.
