National Minimum Wage
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-10
============================================================

Mick Barry (PBP), Cork North-Central

Yesterday, the Dáil unanimously passed a motion calling for the following steps to be taken: an emergency review of the national minimum wage; mandating an increase that would at least cover the rise in the cost of living as it impacts on the low paid; a new rate to be in place by 1 May; and for it to be index-linked. The Tánaiste voted for that motion. His party voted for it. I understand that legislation may need to be amended in order to fully implement it. The Dáil having passed that motion unanimously, what steps does the Government now intend to take to make it a reality?
