Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills
Future Funding of Higher Education: Discussion (Resumed)

Yes, there are a lot of boys doing that. They decided not to undertake an apprenticeship simply because they earn more money by not being an apprentice. Many employers want an apprentice because they can drop them straight back down to a wage of €250 a week at the start no matter what the age of the apprentice.
