    The Irish Electorate must be made aware that Simon Harris Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, - has dismantled one of the best Construction and Engineering Apprenticeship Education systems in the World. Heretofore, many of these Irish Apprentices won Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in the
    WorldSkills
    Competition (next one is in Leon Sept 2024). Harris removed most of the Apprenticeship Education Classes from the highly qualified Master Craftspersons Lecturers in the Institutes of Technology to FÁS. The Construction and Engineering Apprenticeships are now in a Terrible Shambles.
    Harris and Leo are responsible for this. And of course it’s all covered up from the Public by mainstream Journalists.

    I am relatively new to Ireland and found it very odd to hear development of housing can be blocked for months due to government processes or objections from local residents. In places where there is no housing crisis these kinds of objections and delays are not entertained. Its seems the process of getting approval is failing and causing huge delays and ultimately i would say driving up costs due to lack of availability. Not saying thats the only problem but its the most obvious one to solve. Remove the delays to building and prices will likely come down. Stop entertaining delays and get on with it. 😀

      And where will they be housed once they get here? We have tonnes of young and able people here already that have come from overseas, can we stop handing them benefits and hand them a Hi-Vis and training instead? I have zero problems with opening our borders for those who need it…ZERO…but I do think that instead of giving them a Thursday collection at the post office, they should be given a contract of employment upon entry at something like a construction site to actually contribute to our society.

    The entire housing problem revolves around supply and this is down because costs of materials and labour have soared in recent years, leaving ordinary people unable to afford to buy. So the solution is clearly doing something to bring down costs. How about starting with labour costs which are only up due to a shortage of construction workers. Do we not now have a huge influx of young Ukrainians who might like to stay here long term if offered long term work visas, on condition they take up training and subsequent jobs in the construction industry.
