I have just been advised that, as part of the action plan, we are carrying out a spending review of demographic demand for apprenticeships this year. That will take place ahead of budget preparations for next year. The terms of the review are currently being discussed with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform but ascertaining how we can make improvements is an ongoing job of work. It is not just about staying with the programme we have. We have to review it.
