Ms Tara Coogan:

I am not an expert in this area. My understanding is that currently electricians are being paid far more significant salaries in the main than they would be under the minimum rate of pay. As the Deputy knows, electricians are in short supply. It is a highly skilled profession. As well as this, construction is doing well. I therefore could not answer the Deputy about the general rate of pay. However, certainly, this rate is the floor. My understanding is this is not what the median rate of pay currently is.
