National Minimum Wage
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-23
============================================================

Neale Richmond (FG), Dublin Rathdown

The Deputy knows all the arguments from the Low Pay Commission as well as I do. She knows the reasoning as to why this was introduced in the first place. She knows what the response would be to the points she has made about other jurisdictions that have changed this. What I will repeat is that the Low Pay Commission has been asked to look at the matter by the previous Minister. It will look at it and report to the Government by the end of this year. The Government will take those recommendations on board and act accordingly.
