Low Pay Commission
Seanad Éireann — 2023-10-24
============================================================

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

I appreciate the Minister of State's response. There is no reason to believe that we will not have a report by Christmas, a year on from the commencement of the draft report. I failed to reference the issue of low pay for migrant workers and young workers, particularly women, since there is a gender aspect to this, as well as single parents, people with disabilities and people who face multiple forms of discrimination. They still have a far higher probability of being on the minimum wage or being low-wage earners than other groups. I thank the Minister of State for coming in and the Cathaoirleach for accepting the Commencement matter.
