I propose to take Questions Nos. 500 and 510 together.

The information requested by the Deputy in relation to the annual expenditure on apprentice accommodation allowances and travel allowance per year since 2011 and the total expenditure in each year since 2018 on accommodation allowance and meal allowance for apprentices in tabular form; and the average cost per apprentice per year, is being compiled by SOLAS. An answer will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as possible.
