I propose to take Questions Nos. 234 to 237, inclusive, together.
The information requested by the Deputy in relation to apprenticeship programmes in operation is set out on the following tabular statement. There are currently 13,209 people undertaking an apprenticeship in one of these programmes.
The 2018 budget allocation for apprenticeship training is €122m which represents an increase of almost 24% on the 2017 allocation of €98.7m.
The number apprentices registered on the Commis Chef Apprenticeships in 2017 was 25 with a further 34 apprentices registered to date in 2018. The Chef de Partie Apprenticeship is currently in development and is scheduled to commence in September 2018 with initial numbers estimated at 48 participants this year.
