Ireland has a very steep incomes gradient. A steep incomes gradient is not necessarily good for a cohesive society. We are here to focus on wages as a cost of doing business. The committee is focussing on the 4.7% at the bottom. I am just wondering why there is no attention given to the 4.7% at the top.
