The directive was adopted yesterday by the European Council and, therefore, the time is ticking. We have two years at most to implement the directive on adequate minimum wages. I am conscious the Minister will need to apprise himself of the detail of what was approved yesterday, but what assurances can he give on that transposition? Importantly, with regard to unemployment law, Ireland has not covered itself in glory in fulsome implementation following the transposition of EU directives. What assurance can the Minister give on the transposition of the technical detail and the spirit of this important directive?
