Neale Richmond (Dublin Rathdown, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate what the Deputy is trying to do and do not doubt it. The difference between intention and what happens in practice and possible legal interpretation, unfortunately, is too confusing in this case in terms of an act of law.

On the minimum wage directive, we had a debate on this in this House. Meetings of the high level working group continue at pace and I reiterate that I will ensure they continue at pace to get a speedy resolution.
