My own is the Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board. The regional skills fora are excellent. The regional skills managers do excellent work in that they collaborate on a daily basis on the ground with industry and employers. They are in constant rolling conversation and collaboration, assessing where the gaps are in the pipeline of skills coming out of our colleges and training institutions to meet the gaps in the labour force and the marketplace. There is great credit due, for example to Joe Leddin in my own area, our regional skills manager, and all of the regional skills managers around the country who keep that under constant review.
