Michael Cahill (Kerry, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister for his detailed response and the work he is doing in this area. I would like to briefly mention Kerry ETB, of which I was a member for many years. I know first-hand the tremendous variety of courses provided there. I would like to take this opportunity to ask the Minister to increase the number of courses provided in all of our colleges, not just in Kerry but throughout the country. I believe that is important.

I mentioned middle and low income earners and how difficult it is to pay for and acquire accommodation at short notice. I would like to see an effort being made in that regard to give better incentives, more time and improved assistance for families if at all possible. I again thank the Minister for his response.
