Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Low Pay Commission Recommendations on the National Minimum Wage: Discussion

Mr. Ultan Courtney:

The Deputy will have to excuse me. Unless Dr. Walsh has a different view, we are in the middle of a consultation on that matter. I do not want to prejudice that consultation by giving any view that might be considered mine or that of the Low Pay Commission. We are doing an important piece of work at present. Many people are interested in what the outcome will be in that regard. I do not want to say any more than that until we get the considered views of our stakeholders. I do not know whether Dr. Walsh has anything to add to that, but I think that is where we are at.
