View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 530 to 532, inclusive, together.
The information requested by the Deputy in relation to target apprenticeship registrations in the period 2018 to 2020 is set out in the attached tabular statement.
It should be noted that SOLAS do not currently have forecast registrations beyond 2020. I am informed by SOLAS that due to a break in the Central Statistics Office (CSO) data series and issues with the ESRI macro-economic model there has been a delay in updating of skills forecasts by the Skills and Labour Market and Research Unit (SLMRU). As soon as these issues are resolved I understand that the SLMRU will commence the occupational skills forecasting project, with subsequent publication.
