I propose to take Questions Nos. 533 and 534 together.
The Action Plan to Expand Apprenticeship and Traineeship in Ireland 2016-2020 sets annual targets for new apprenticeship programmes in the period to 2020. The information requested by the Deputy in relation to new apprenticeships that are currently in development following our two calls for proposals and the likely date these will become operational is set out on the attached table. Each of these programmes are at various stages of development and are in addition to the 11 new programmes that are already operational.
