Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills

Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Michael Hourihan:

If I may, I will clarify a point on the funding. The apprentices get a training allowance when they are in college. That training allowance increases each year. In phase 2 they get a training allowance, in phase 4 it is higher and in phase 6 it is higher again. That training allowance is monitored and organised through SOLAS. It is facilitated through the ETBs at the training centres. I just wanted to make that clear.
