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

Niall Collins (FF), Limerick County

It is a job of work for our various ETBs, SOLAS, technological universities and colleges of further education and training to constantly identify skills deficits and gaps in the labour market. The Deputy referred to the construction sector. Right across the country, we have our education and training service providers. Training covers modern methods of construction and green skills initiatives related to the sector’s requirements and obligations to address climate change. All of this is under continual review. There are gaps and deficits, but we are turning out graduates and upskilling and reskilling people every day of the week through all our training and service providers. It is the job of the Government and the Department to ensure this happens continually.
