The Tánaiste referred to the great announcement yesterday by Apple of 1,000 jobs in Cork.

None of them will be in Longford.

Some 750 jobs were announced for Longford and planning permission has been submitted for Center Parcs Longford, a new project which will create a large number of jobs.

Well done to-----

Would you ever shut up and have manners, Deputy Carey?

That is my job.

Deputy Bannon is tetchy today.

I have a feeling that exchange will go viral.

As I stated, a planning application has been submitted for the project and it is at an advanced stage. People need to be fully prepared for the new job opportunities that the Government is creating. When can we expect the apprenticeship Bill to come before the House?

It is obvious that even in the most loving families and political groups, tensions break out from time to time.

Quiet, please.

I extend congratulations to Longford on achieving the investment to which Center Parcs has committed. For the information of Deputy Bannon and others, I understand the project will have some of the best swimming facilities in Europe.

Deputy Bannon will need to take a dip in them to cool down.

Good for Longford. I also understand that some recruitment has commenced. The apprenticeship Bill will be early next year.
