Vol. 396 No. 3

Written Answers. - National Apprentice Committee.

Tony Gregory

Question:

141 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Labour when he intends to set up the National Apprentice Committee as proposed in the FÁS document Apprenticeship, A New Approach; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

FÁS, at my request, undertook a review of apprenticeship training and this resulted in the document Apprenticeship —A New Approach which was published by FÁS at the end of last year. The purpose of the document is to generate general debate and discussion on the future of apprenticeship and FÁS has set a deadline of the end of March 1990 for the receipt of comments. The discussion document does not represent decisions by the FÁS board or myself.

I look forward to receiving the FÁS proposals for a future apprenticeship system in due course.
