I propose to take Questions Nos. 188 to 190, inclusive, together.
There are currently 60 apprenticeships available with a further 18 programmes in development. The apprenticeship population as of the end of April 2021 is 20,221. The full breakdown of apprentices currently participating on an apprenticeship in each apprenticeship programme is attached.
The information requested by the Deputy in relation to the total population of apprentices currently participating on an apprenticeship programme by county and the population of apprentices by age cohort is currently being collated by SOLAS and will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is available.
