I'm not familiar with the programme, but looking around me here in Ireland these days where very few indeed have practical, technical or craft skills it's so obvious that there is a huge gap in our education.

Young couples all over the place, paying enormous prices to second rate 'craftsmen' for sloppy work that's actually a nothing. This on top of lots having got caught in the recession with enormous mortgages and so on.

It's really only those from some farm backgrounds, or who came from hands on families that are the exception.

Worst of all perhaps is the amount of psychological insecurity, technophobia and inability to see the role of technology in society - it's going i think to cost us dear....
