Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation
Banded Hours Contract Bill 2016: Discussion (Resumed).
4:00 pm
Mr. Joe Dolan:
On the issue of low pay, and my property probably typifies many similar operations, my highest-paid people are my part-time book-keeper, my part-time marketing person and my part-time IT person. They are probably on the smallest and lowest hours in my business. Many small to medium-sized rural hotels would probably be in that category, so I certainly do not share the sentiment that low pay and low hours go hand in hand. My colleague will address the Deputy's other point.
