Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: English Language Training Organisations (22 Jan 2019)

Fiona O'Loughlin: I thank the Minister for her kind words on the work we do at the committee and for her update on the area of mediation. We must acknowledge that the English language teaching sector has been blighted over the past number of years with some schools closing overnight without any notice impacting on vulnerable students, many of whom were left in a situation with very poor English and having...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Schools Building Projects Status (22 Jan 2019)

Fiona O'Loughlin: I add my voice to this issue. I had a meeting about St. Paul's in Monasterevin with the Minister and the forward planning unit in Tullamore. The situation in which the students and teachers find themselves is deplorable. Were this a private organisation or company, I do not doubt that it would be closed on several health and safety grounds. Some 160 boys have the use of only two toilets...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Apprenticeship Data (22 Jan 2019)

Fiona O'Loughlin: It is good to see some movement on the matter. However, let us compare the statistics with those in our nearest neighbour in England. In 2016-17, 54% of all apprenticeships there were taken up by women, a sizeable number. The number of women starting apprenticeships in England has been higher than the number of men every year since 2010-11. We can learn a great deal from this. In...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Apprenticeship Data (22 Jan 2019)

Fiona O'Loughlin: I accept what the Minister of State is saying. I am aware of the bursary. I mentioned that it was in place. I accept that the number has doubled and that we are now at a figure of 4%, which is still rather low, given that 96% of apprentices are men. Although we can see progress, far more has to be done. Although the bursary is in place, far more must be done for women who wish to take up...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Apprenticeship Data (22 Jan 2019)

Fiona O'Loughlin: My question concerns apprenticeships. It is true to say that Ireland is lagging far behind many other EU countries in terms of the scale and diversity of apprenticeships currently on offer here. Traditionally there has been an emphasis on craft apprenticeships. That has changed recently. I am most concerned with the fact that only 2% of the total population of apprentices are female. It...
