The federation favours the minimum wage and the employment industrial relations legislation, weak as it is. It is obviously against JLCs. My question is specifically about the industry's refusal to entertain better pay and conditions. As I said to Mr. Kelly from Fáilte Ireland, it is not rocket science. There is 5% unemployment at present so people have choices. If the federation is not offering proper pay and conditions, that would explain the shortage.
