Can the Taoiseach tell us what is happening in regard to the apprenticeship Bill that has been promised for some time? It is to deal with new governance arrangements relating to the area of apprenticeships, which is particularly important at present.

It is a matter of direct interest to the Minister of State. He is awaiting proposals from the Apprenticeship Council and others by the end of March, and he will put it together then. He is very active in respect of the changed nature of apprenticeships that are required for new industries.
