Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Low Pay and the Living Wage: Discussion (Resumed)

1:35 pm

Ms Patricia Callan:

The vast majority would have between ten and 25 employees. Once one gets beyond that, one tends to grow very quickly, which is great because one has professionalised one's management in the main and are on a growth strategy that, hopefully, works out. A lot of people choose to stay around ten employees - the micro-business mark. They hit that level and they are happy to do so.
