146. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade if he is aware that his Department recently advertised for two internships at the Embassy of Ireland, Paris, for which the advertised rate of pay was €4.35 per hour, that this rate of pay is far below the minimum wage in either France or Ireland, that this rate of pay would not even come close to covering accommodation costs, and that such a rate of pay effectively disqualifies those who cannot subsidise an internship from taking up the position; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
