Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Apprenticeship Programmes (30 Mar 2023)

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Apprenticeship Programmes (30 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I really welcome that. If one takes the figure of 300, that is the number of apprenticeships the ESB alone does every year. The local authorities have been dragging their feet on this. We need to sit down with them, examine why that is the case and determine what are the blockages. We need to be able to facilitate the local authorities as well as giving them the responsibility for...

Education and the School Building Programme: Motion [Private Members] (29 Mar 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank the Labour Party for tabling this timely motion, which touches on a number of important issues, one of which is the lack of capacity in school transport.

Rose Conway-Walsh: I listened to the Minister acutely and nobody would think that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have been in power for the last 100 years.
