Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

The Future of STEM in Irish Education: Discussion (Resumed).

Mr. Andrew Brownlee:

There is a national list and we are very clear that no one jumps the queue on it. Having said that, there are different apprenticeships and there is a longer waiting list for electrical than for carpentry and joinery, for example. That might explain the difference. However, people jumping the queue to access their training faster should not happen.
