Apprenticeship Programmes
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-08
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I ask for an update on the progress made on the funding issue at SOLAS and the ETBs and the impact this is having on apprenticeships, the community sector and adult education within further education. Will the Minister provide some detail? We have all heard of a hole in the budget of between €40 million and €50 million but some clarity on that would be appreciated.
