Joanna Tuffy: As an alternative to what Dr. Foley is saying about points, take electrical engineering, which on occasion has been a low-points course, although there would obviously be maths requirements. Some electrical engineering students, on relatively modest leaving certificate results, end up doing PhDs or working at the top end of the industry. Judges, for example, would have had very basic...

Joanna Tuffy: That is fair enough. I agree that there is a need to develop the apprenticeship system, but I do not agree with the idea that some people are not suitable for university or for third level and should instead be in apprenticeships.
