Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 November 2013
202. Deputy Patrick Nulty asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of apprentices who are within six to12 months of completing their apprenticeship but have been made redundant; the number of apprentices made redundant who are within two years of completing their apprenticeship; the number of apprentices who are currently taking part in the redundant apprentice placement scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [50155/13]
View answerI understand that the population of redundant apprentices recorded on the SOLAS Apprenticeship Client Services System at the end of October 2013 is 1,736. The breakdown across the different phases is attached for the Deputy's attention. The number of redundant apprentices currently on the Redundant Apprentice Placement Scheme at the end of October is 185. It is expected that these will have completed their placement at the end of the year.
