632. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills if there are sectors in which SOLAS sets a maximum allowable number of recruits to each trade for a set planning period; if recruitment is regulated to this figure; the sectors concerned; and the employer group which consults with SOLAS on targets for each sector.

I understand from SOLAS that they do not set any maximum number for the recruitment of apprentices to any of the craft trades.  Approved employers may, however, may have upper limits to the number they can recruit based on their capacity to adequately train apprentices.
