Deputy Ó Snodaigh will be glad to know that the Minister for Education and Skills is opening the largest rural school-----

That is very interesting but what about the legislation?

-----in the midlands tomorrow, in Edgeworthstown-----

Are we all invited?

Will Deputy Bannon be there?

-----with funding provided by this Government.

In order that people are fully prepared for the new job opportunities in our improving economy can the Taoiseach update us on the status of the apprenticeship Bill? I have raised this issue before in the House.

I am glad to note that the largest school in the country will be opened at Edgeworthstown. Every time I pass there and see the statue of Maria Edgeworth I think of her famous book, Castle Rackrent. Deputy Bannon will be pleased.

The Bill in respect of apprenticeship matters is under discussion at the moment.
