- Microgeneration Support Scheme Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (27 Nov 2018)
Maurice Quinlivan: I commend my colleague Deputy Brian Stanley on introducing this Bill on microgeneration. This is very welcome legislation, which would allow excess energy produced by small scale domestic microgenerators, such as photovoltaic panels or small wind turbines, to be fed into the national grid and provides that householders would be paid for it, which is currently not the case. This type of...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Ireland's Skills Needs: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Nov 2018)
Maurice Quinlivan: I refer back to the matter of apprenticeships. As part of the SOLAS contribution, it was stated that the programme for Government and the Action Plan for Education contained a commitment to a cumulative 31,000 enrolments in apprenticeships between 2016 and 2020. I am concerned about how confident SOLAS is about reaching that figure given that the targets set out in the Action Plan on...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Ireland's Skills Needs: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Nov 2018)
Maurice Quinlivan: On the roll-out in the new year and SOLAS's plans to publicise it more, will specific steps be taken such as advertisement or visits to secondary schools? The perception is that parents are not keen on their children doing an apprenticeship and they want them to go to third level. We are trying to break down that barrier and show that apprenticeships are a good progression in life.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Ireland's Skills Needs: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Nov 2018)
Maurice Quinlivan: I congratulate both witnesses on their work so far and thank them for coming before us today. I am delighted to see them here and it will not do them any harm on their CVs to say they have presented to an Oireachtas committee. If they could change anything in the present apprenticeship scheme, what would it be, or do they feel anything needs to be changed?
