Treating employees is obviously incredibly important. Reference was made to the great resignation, which has impacted many parts of the commercial world and the State. Many people realised the importance of treating employees with respect and dignity, and looking after them.

On the advertised roles, I see Applus is advertising for roles in a salary range from €35,000 up to €42,000. For someone applying to work as a senior qualified technical mechanic or just a traditional mechanic in a car garage in Dublin, the salary available is around €50,000, and it is up to €56,000 in many cases. That would allow someone to do a normal eight-hour shift five days per week. I understand that for the salary quoted in the Applus advertisements, someone would have to work a Sunday to obtain a bonus. The salaries are significantly lower than what the market is demanding at the moment. Has Applus tried to address that?
