Working Conditions and Skills Shortages in Tourism and Hospitality Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Tim Fenn:
On the pay and conditions, we outlined earlier on that Ireland has the second highest minimum wage in Europe of all of the countries that have minimum wages. At the moment, in a tight labour market, we see evidence that the pay and conditions have increased significantly. That is what happening and that is the reality of it. Pay and conditions are one dimension to attracting new employees. A key part of the initiatives that are happening at the moment relates to providing work-life balance and supports on all aspects of health, well-being and other aspects of people’s lives and livelihood.
