Some people with a degree are only earning a little above the minimum wage. Will this sector be included in the remit of the low-pay commission?

Before Christmas the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, gave a commitment to bring forward legislation on asylum centres. As we know, 61 people, including 16 children, have died in asylum centres since they were founded. When will the Government bring forward comprehensive legislation to deal with this issue and to ensure a maximum timeframe will be put in place for those in asylum centres?

Legislation was brought to the Dáil before Christmas to require valid national car test certificates for all vehicles. This move is notable and only right. However, there is a four to five-month waiting list in many centres throughout the country. Motorists are unsure whether they are insured to drive their cars or whether they will be subject to penalty points. What is the Government doing to ensure what I imagine was an unforeseen implication will be addressed?
