============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

Will the Minister of State give me any indication as to the gender breakdown of these apprenticeships? How many girls and how many boys are involved in this? Will the Minister of State also give an indication of the types of apprenticeships that are most popular such as carpentry or mechanics? Is the Minister of State aware of the Castlerea Prison Jonathan Irwin project where young Travellers in the prison can train in skills, and horse husbandry in particular?
Does the Minister of State have any connection with the Open Doors initiative which also works on this?
