I am asking the witnesses, as representatives of employers' organisations, what responsibility employers have to meet that challenge and to deal with the very real situations those...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Low Pay and the Living Wage: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Mar 2015)

David Cullinane: I understand Rhonellen’s position because it was stated in its presentation that it is against increasing the minimum wage.

If the company is not prepared to support an increase in the minimum wage, how does it stand over 21% of workers being on low pay? How does it stand...

David Cullinane: I move amendment No. 6: In page 4, line 18, to delete “subject to the consent of the Minister given”.I shall be brief because the amendment is somewhat related to the previous amendments.
