There is an anomaly with regard to apprenticeships for children under the age of 18. An apprentice in that category cannot get any payment whatsoever. Can the Minister talk to the Minister for Social Protection? It does not matter what we give these teenagers. If they are aged between 16 and 18 years, they cannot get anything. They did not get anything during the first lockdown. Can the Minister address that with his colleague?
