asked the Minister for Labour the excess of demand over supply of places in AnCO training centres during the past year.

AnCO provides a total of 6,533 places to which 4,917 are in their own centres and 1,620 are provided externally.

These places will enable AnCO to achieve this year a total training throughput of 18,300 approximately.

Up to 31 October this year, a total of 26,685 applications for adult training courses were received by AnCO.

The figures for places and for throughput include 2,170 in respect of apprentices, whereas the figure for applications to AnCO does not include apprentices. Applications for apprenticeships are made in the first instance to the National Manpower Service or directly to employers. The number of applications made for apprenticeships to the National Manpower Service amounted to 12,196 this year.
