Payment of Wages (Amendment) (Tips and Gratuities) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-06-29
============================================================

Damien English (FG), Meath West

-----but I am working with a WRC which tells me that, because it is cash and because we cannot trace it, it is unenforceable.
We have to also recognise where we are today. Although I do not have the percentages, I understand the majority are paying with card. It is a minority who are paying their restaurant bills with cash. If the Senator has any statistics on that, we would be happy to look at them. I repeat we have a built-in review.
We want the same thing but I cannot recommend legislation that is not workable. I have to be honest about that.
