Mr. Denis Hynes:

It is fair to say a joint labour committee is the way forward. I am aware I have said this a few times, and Mr. Berney has touched upon this. It provides not only a collective bargaining mechanism but also a system and a structure in which if someone has an issue, he or she can raise it, have it addressed and can feel comfortable in that arena. It deals with the structure of putting in place minimum pay and minimum conditions of employment, bearing in mind, and in answer to the question, this is where the problem is. It is not an attractive sector at the moment. It does not appeal to people. Those who came off the pandemic unemployment payment are looking elsewhere for a job because of experience. We have hit rock bottom now. This is important. The hospitality industry is in trouble but we all want to work together to make it a thriving place again where workers can look forward to working and enjoy working.
