Ms Claire Pyke:

The Government published the commission's report and launched a public consultation on the recommendations made by the Low Pay Commission. That consultation closed last month. I know that my colleagues in the Department along with the Tánaiste are reviewing those submissions, and they are working with colleagues across Government to see how to make progress. I think that the Tánaiste has announced his intention to bring a further recommendation to Government towards the end of next month on the next stages and implementations of the recommendations.
