The calls comes in advance of a Labour Party motion on Thursday demanding emergency housing measures.

The Labour Party are calling on the Government to drop its exemption of paying the minimum wage to apprentices.

The call comes as contractors are finding it increasingly difficult to retain apprentices due to poor pay.

A Labour Party Senator said the minimum wage is forcing young people to emigrate.

Kildare's Mark Wall says the practice of low pay is unacceptable.
