Maurice Quinlivan (SF), Limerick City

I will also raise the issue of the living wage. I understand the Low Pay Commission has completed its report and the Tánaiste has had it since March. The Tánaiste said he would engage in consultation over the summer months but when will the report be published, which we signed on to, so we can also read it? As he is aware, it is a commitment in the programme for Government and is something we want to do. Last time I spoke to the Tánaiste, he told me to speak to my colleagues in the North, which I did. Sinn Féin, in government in the North, has introduced the living wage for public sector jobs and contracts. I hope we will be included in consultations on the Government's proposals for the living wage. Will the Tánaiste tell us when the Low Pay Commission report will be published?
