Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The programme for Government clearly states that the cut in the minimum wage will be reversed. This measure will be implemented by Government. As the Taoiseach told the House yesterday, the Attorney General has been consulted on whether separate legislation will be required, whether this can be provided for in existing legislation or, if legislation is required at all. The Government intends to reverse the cut in the minimum wage.
