Mr. Neil McDonnell:

Yes, but the law provides for differential rates of pay, for example, for apprentices, so there is an inherent recognition of this. I am not going to comment on the Deputy's interpersonal or social skills were he to find himself in a filling station after the next election. What I could say, however, is that it is likely that an employer would have to supervise him less than a 16-,17- or 18-year old. That is all.
