Living Wage
Dail Éireann — 2021-09-15
============================================================

Maurice Quinlivan (SF), Limerick City

I raised the issue of the introduction of a living wage with the Tánaiste a number of times prior to the recess. In previous exchanges, the Tánaiste mentioned that the improvement of workers' conditions has been a priority. As such, I would like to know how this priority is progressing. Can the Tánaiste provide us with a timeframe of when the Low Pay Commission review will be completed? It has been subcontracted and tasked with reporting back with some idea of the living wage.
