The Minister mentioned another fund, the development capital fund. It brings me back to my previous question to the Minister of State, Deputy Perry, on the knowledge of these schemes. It is an issue that we have spoken a great deal about at the Joint Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. There are many schemes and many funds, but there is no one place in which to get all of that information. At the committee, Deputy Lawlor is particularly strong on this. There is a need one place where somebody in any sector can go to find what supports are available, and this is merely another example.

Returning to manufacturing, is the Minister happy that the apprenticeship scheme is fit for purpose to deal with the opportunities there will be in manufacturing over the next number of years?
