I congratulate Dr. de Buitléir on his appointment and wish him the best of luck in this role. Is the allocation of €500,000 to the Low Pay Commission sufficient to do what he is seeking to do? I know that a previous criticism was that those appointed to the commission were not from those in the low paid category. Will Dr. de Buitléir have an opportunity to bring in people from outside to advise the commission? Will he be holding public hearings to allow other viewpoints to be heard?
