Amharc ar fhreagra173. Deputy Billy Kelleher asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of live traineeship programmes forecasted for all existing traineeships and the targeted new enrolments per annum in each of the years 2016 to 2020; the forecasted number of traineeship programmes cumulative in addition to planned new enrolments per annum for new or relaunched traineeships; and the number realised for existing traineeships and new or relaunched traineeships, that is, trainee enrolments and cumulative number of traineeship programmes operationalised for these targets at 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018, in tabular form.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 172 and 173 together.
The information requested by the Deputy is set out on the attached tabular statement. I have been informed by SOLAS that their records show traineeship as two programme categories, Traineeship (for employment) and Traineeship (in employment) and therefore some of the information in relation to gender and employment sector breakdown is not available.
