Sub-Minimum Rates of the National Minimum Wage: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Diarmaid Smyth:

It will be part of the economic impact assessment. The ESRI did great work looking at the data and the numbers of people on the sub-minimum rates. The Minister is keen to have the economic impact assessment to try to model the impact of any changes on specific firms and sectors so we get more information on the likely impacts of the change.
