Payment of Wages (Amendment) (Tips and Gratuities) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-13
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

Thanks very much, a Cheann Comhairle, or you could give it to the other Deputy Murphy if you want.
I will have to read carefully around section 4F when the Tánaiste is next speaking, given the points he has raised. He is saying the regulations will apply in circumstances where the payment of tips typically applies in a section of the economy, but that is not the case, or not necessarily, as it is currently written. That is one of the things to be taken into account by the Minister in deciding whether he or she will use regulations to make it apply here but it is not definitely the case. It is one of the things to be taken into account. That is a problem. He or she can have regard to the fact tips are normally paid here but look at all the other factors that are referenced and say that on balance he or she does not think these should apply. That is a weakness in the Bill as proposed.
