I also read the Sunday newspaper that outlined the top 200 schools based on the criterion of what percentage of their pupils went to universities. What struck me was Senator Mansergh's comments on this article's creation of a type of snobbery. In the reality of modern Ireland, approximately 40% of all jobs are created in the building industry. Regarding crafts and the recent skills document, many of the skills we need are in the building industry and crafts area. The Leader may remember when we discussed apprenticeships.
