To follow on from Deputy Durkan, I recently visited the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre of Excellence, Dundalk. We have the robotics and automation apprenticeship which, obviously, is an absolute necessity. We know the idea behind cybersecurity. We have 3D concrete printing. There is also huge interaction between industry and the advanced manufacturing centre, which is followed up by the work that is done in the likes of the Ó Fiaich institute and the Drogheda Institute of Further Education, DIFE. We need to have an overall solution and a fit-for-purpose regional skills and training centre. There is a need to rectify cross-Border issues around certification. The Minister of State has the means to do that.
As I am dealing with Louth and Meath Education and Training Board, LMETB, one of its employees, namely, a young female teacher who lives fairly close to me just across the Border in the North, received bad news today. Maybe the Minister of State will be able to use his good offices in this regard. She is an Irish-language teacher, who studied Irish along with politics and society and civil, social and political education. When she went for registration with the Teaching Council, it came back without Irish certification. Unfortunately, the LMETB has contacted her to tell her that if this is not rectified by Friday, 11 October, the fixed-term contract will be terminated and she will lose her job. While my office has already made contact, if the Minister of State can follow up on this, I can provide him with that information. It would be absolutely vital. I will also follow up with the Minister, Deputy O’Donovan, in respect of his meeting with the personal assistants who work in Dunboyne College of Further Education, the Ó Fiaich institute and Cavan Institute because that is absolutely necessary.
