Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Sinn Féin wants to change it in such as a way that it is calculated without any reference to employers. Sinn Féin wants to exclude small businesses from having any role in contributing to how the minimum wage is calculated. Sinn Féin wants to disregard the impact on the Border counties of a huge differential between minimum wages North and South. We have a minimum wage in Ireland, which is higher than the living wage in the UK and in Northern Ireland and it is calculated fairly.
