Cost of Living, Minimum Wage Increases and Report of Low Pay Commission: Discussion
Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Absolutely. There is chat about moving to a living wage, but 80 cent is nowhere near a major leap or a major step, particularly in light of the current inflationary pressures that are having an impact specifically on low-income workers. Does Mr. Light have any confidence a living wage can be achieved within the lifetime of this Government, however long that may be, or does he think the pace is too slow?
