I appreciate that Dr. de Buitléir had to go for a train but I wish to go back to a point that was made by a couple of members. A lot of the work by the Low Pay Commission has been based on no data but it is being relied on by the industry and the Minister. The Irish Hotels Federation goes to great lengths to promote the review of the Low Pay Commission and that is frightening. Dr. de Buitléir said he would bring it back to the other eight members of the commission. This is important and some of the organisations represented on the Low Pay Commission have also changed their viewpoints. It would be useful if the commission could be contacted after its members have met on this.
