As the Chairperson mentioned, ICTU recently spoke to us about the understaffing issue in the WRC and mentioned details about some of the substantive WRC investigations that have resulted in more than €19.5 million in withheld or stolen wages being returned to workers. Can the Minister clarify whether additional resources will be provided to the WRC following the funding announced in the budget earlier this week? As his tenure is due to end and he will return to the post of Taoiseach, can he outline a reasonable timeframe for a referendum to take place on gender equality?
