Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Review of Skills and Apprenticeship Schemes: Discussion

5:10 pm

Mr. Andrew Smith:

Okay. Many reports have been carried out on bogus self-employment. All the reports have shown that as a result of this the State, the industry and training have all suffered. We await a Government report on bogus self-employment. The Building and Allied Trades Union recommends the following measures for apprentices and to stop bogus self-employment - scope to be given to inspectors to do their job; ensuring that workers from outside the State pay their taxes here and employ PAYE people; and, allowing apprentices to gain further education with the option of doing level 7 and level 8, and, where possible, to give them access to higher education access routes and reopen all the training centres.
