Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy has raised an important point, given that unemployment is down to 10%, although it is still too high. The Minister with responsibility for this, Deputy English, is shortly to bring proposals about a new apprenticeship council, which is in situ, and new modules for upskilling, training and apprenticeships, to the Government for approval. It was to happen last week, but did not, and I expect it in the next few weeks.
