My department’s officials have raised this issue with SOLAS who have advised that an apprentice employed by a company registered in the state can work cross-border with the same company in Northern Ireland once the following requirements are complied with:

1. the company is approved to train apprentices by SOLAS

2. Complies with state taxation requirements

3. Retains a registered office in the state

4. Appoints a company representative

5. The apprentice is registered on the national apprenticeship system
