That report is being used against the exploited workers in the area, which is most unfortunate. It would have been helpful if detailed analysis had been carried out by the Low Pay Commission before it made its recommendations.

I have a question about the unintended consequences. Dr. de Buitléir said that much of the focus, correctly, has been on the service charge and that there might be unintended consequences to reclassifying the service charge, such as a reduction in take home pay for workers. However, unions say that from their engagement with their members that absolutely would not be the case. I am not sure whether Dr. de Buitléir was here for the contributions from industry representatives earlier-----
