Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of Employment Permits (Consolidation and Amendment) Bill: Discussion

Ms Clare Dunne:

Yes. It will be increased to bring it into line with the average industrial wage, which is about €40,000, but we are going to do this in incremental steps. From January of next year, the lower threshold of €30,000 will rise to €32,000 for those with critical skills. The €60,000 threshold will rise to €64,000. That is the explanation. It is just a matter of keeping pace with the average industrial wage.
