Financial Resolutions 2022 - Financial Resolution No. 6: General (Resumed) (29 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle, for the opportunity to speak. Delivering a budget - or delivering an alternative budget, as many Opposition parties do - is challenging and onerous, and they are pretty difficult to put together. Therefore, while I do not agree with much of what is in the Government's budget, I wish to state for the record that I recognise that the elements I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Cost of Living, Minimum Wage Increases and Report of Low Pay Commission: Discussion (28 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I welcome Ms Pyke and all the other witnesses. I will make a remark I do not mean in an offensive way but we all know that women are overrepresented in low-paid work. It is regrettable. I welcome the woman who is here but I regret that there are not more women because we are disproportionately represented among the low-paid, as Ms Pyke and the other witnesses will be aware. A simplistic...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Cost of Living, Minimum Wage Increases and Report of Low Pay Commission: Discussion (28 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I understand how inflation works. I am asking Mr. Courtney a simple question. Does he believe that there should be equal emphasis on wherever supports are going and the contribution they could make to inflation? It seems very one-sided when we talk about low-income workers and the potential for them to somehow spark some sort of massive wage spiral of inflation, which I do not buy.

Louise O'Reilly: When Mr. Courtney says, "whatever is needed to bring the balance up", does that mean he is not ruling out a second recommendation to keep pace?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Cost of Living, Minimum Wage Increases and Report of Low Pay Commission: Discussion (28 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Does Mr. Light have a comment?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Cost of Living, Minimum Wage Increases and Report of Low Pay Commission: Discussion (28 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Absolutely. There is chat about moving to a living wage, but 80 cent is nowhere near a major leap or a major step, particularly in light of the current inflationary pressures that are having an impact specifically on low-income workers. Does Mr. Light have any confidence a living wage can be achieved within the lifetime of this Government, however long that may be, or does he think the pace...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Cost of Living, Minimum Wage Increases and Report of Low Pay Commission: Discussion (28 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Regarding how that is calculated, does Mr. Light have a preference for what does and does not constitute a living wage?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Cost of Living, Minimum Wage Increases and Report of Low Pay Commission: Discussion (28 Sep 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: Does Mr. Courtney have an eye to the living wage? Some commentators have said the low level of trade union density in this State more or less rules out the prospect of wage inflation. Even though it is the job of the Government to put some sort of a floor in place, there is no substitute for being an active trade union member. That is the best way to achieve a pay increase at work and...
