Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 July 2016
237. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 102 of 6 July 2016, when he will publish details of category 2 and 3 proposals; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22004/16]
View answerAs set out in my reply on the 6 July 2016, consortia engaged with the call for proposals on the basis that details would only be published when proposals are approved for progression to a detailed planning stage. I expect to receive a plan from SOLAS and the Apprenticeship Council in later this year that sets out how the commitments in the Programme for Government in relation to apprenticeship will be delivered. This will address issues such as how category 2 and 3 proposals will be progressed and the potential timing of future calls for proposals.
