Cost of Living, Minimum Wage Increases and Report of Low Pay Commission: Discussion
Matt Shanahan (Waterford, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I thank the Chair and our guests. I join with colleagues in saying that we all want to see people having a reasonable standard of living and getting a reasonable wage but we have to also understand that there is such a thing as ability to pay. Off the top of his head, could Mr. Courtney tell me how many minimum wage workers are employed in the public service or in the multinational space as a rough percentage of their overall working number?
