I wish to remind students this morning that college application deadlines are coming up in January. It is important that they are aware of this and that they fill in their applications promptly. Agricultural courses are very popular again. Demand for agricultural engineers is very high. The Institute of Technology Tralee, ITT, has fielded weekly calls from prospective employers inquiring about graduates from its courses, which highlights the growth in the agricultural machinery sector. Up to 25,000 of the 58,000 jobs created over the past several months were in the agricultural sector. I urge students to consider applying for agricultural courses.
