Order of Business

Senators spoke about the job losses we are experiencing. Last night, 30 apprentices from SR Technics, a firm in north County Dublin which is under threat of closure, visited the House. These apprentices are halfway through their courses, which they will not be able to complete if the company decides to pull out of the country. I am aware that many apprentices throughout the country face a similar prospect. Will the Leader arrange a debate on how to get FÁS, IDA Ireland and other relevant bodies involved to ensure the thousands of apprentices who are in this position as a result of job losses are able to complete their courses?
