42.—(1) Where a person employed by way of apprenticeship, in the district of an apprenticeship committee, in the trade for which the committee is established—

(a) completes his period of apprenticeship to the satisfaction of the committee, and

(b) has passed the senior examination arranged by the committee for persons so employed,

the committee shall inform An Chomhairle thereof and An Chomhairle shall thereupon issue to him a certificate certifying that he has so completed his period of apprenticeship and has passed that examination.

(i) an examination under section 20 of this Act has been carried out, and
