Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

My Department is not directly engaged in the training of apprentices at present. In recent years we have participated in cross Departmental apprenticeship programmes run by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in the area of ICT and also in cooperation with Accounting Technicians Ireland in respect of apprentices in that discipline. 

The details requested in relation to bodies under the aegis of my Department are a matter for the individual bodies concerned. Arrangements have been put in place by each Agency to facilitate the provision of information by State Bodies directly to members of the Oireachtas. The contact email addresses for each agency are set out in the table below.
