Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Cost of Living, Minimum Wage Increases and Report of Low Pay Commission: Discussion

Mr. Ultan Courtney:

That is another important question. The Government has tasked us to look at that again. I welcome that review because it is something to get submissions on and to listen to what people have to say as to whether that is something that is still sustainable going forward or not sustainable in a growing economy. Traditionally, there are various ways of dealing with these kind of issues in relation to age and experience, whether using increments and so on. Whether they are still appropriate is a question. I think it is open. It is a valid question for review. The commission would nothing but a good report on that. I would like to come back to the committee with that to see what conclusions we come to.
