Dr. de Buitléir mentioned the Workplace Relations Commission. It referred to a code of practice but I understand the opinion of the Low Pay Commission was that a code of practice was unlikely to work. Will Dr. de Buitléir elaborate on the reason the commission believes it would be unlikely to work?

Dr. de Buitléir mentioned sectoral agreements. Does he believe a joint labour committee, JLC, or other sectoral agreement may be a better approach for this sector?
