I hope so. I am glad to hear that response from the Minister. We have an issue with low pay. IBEC was before the committee a couple of weeks ago. Its representatives spoke about the care sector, which is important to our economy and our families, in many cases. It acknowledged the rate of pay per hour for a home care worker is €13.10, a shockingly low rate of pay. I asked IBEC and I ask the Minister, how does a home care worker get a pay rise in this country?
