526. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science if his attention has been drawn to the fact that aircraft engineering apprentices who are in phase 2 of their training which must be completed in Shannon have a rate of pay of €202.78 per week, which is the lowest rate issued by Solas for any trade; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that 2016 was the last time that their rate was updated; if he will ensure that this rate is urgently increased to ensure these apprentices are appropriately compensated for their work given the increase in the cost-of-living since then; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
