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

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

I appreciate what the Minister of State has said. I will be pressing the amendment but I hear what he is saying. I ask that he give that commitment to review the fines within the next 12 months or something like that so we can get something concrete out of this. The very fact we have seen €9 million stolen in the last three years shows - and in fairness the Minister of State has acknowledged it - that the current set of fines is not sufficient. I ask for a timeline so we can get something concrete from the conversation. I very much welcome the Minister of State's comments.
