Sick Leave Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-29
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

It is clear the Minister of State and I will not agree on this. I ask him to acknowledge the example I gave of a minimum wage worker. Will he acknowledge that under the scheme, the first day of sick pay amounts to nothing for these low-paid workers. I have given that example and I ask the Minister of State to acknowledge it.
