Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I asked a very specific question. There were 66,183 people under the age of 25 on the live register as of September. In the context of the youth guarantee scheme, how many training places have been provided for these 66,183 young people? In 2012 there were 18,000 places. Will the Taoiseach accept that the €14 million added to the budget this year can in no way make up the gap between the 18,000 places that were available last year and the 66,000 young people on the live register this year? That is an increase of 20,000 people on last year's figure. How many training places have been provided for these people? Can the Taoiseach outline when the guarantee scheme will commence?
