- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the National Minimum Wage (Low Pay Commission) Bill 2015: Discussion (24 Mar 2015)
Peadar Tóibín: I thank the delegates for their presentations. Before their presentations, we heard presentations by employee representatives.

It is a major and difficult challenge for the Oireachtas. A...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the National Minimum Wage (Low Pay Commission) Bill 2015: Discussion (24 Mar 2015)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the National Minimum Wage (Low Pay Commission) Bill 2015: Discussion (24 Mar 2015)
Peadar Tóibín: The last question I have is to Ms Maeve McElwee. The 4.7% of the working population who are on the minimum wage is a cost element regarding business. But the 4.7% of the population who are on the very top wages is equally a cost. Given that both costs should be a challenge equally to the people you represent, what should be done with the wages at the top, the 4.7%?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: General Scheme of the National Minimum Wage (Low Pay Commission) Bill 2015: Discussion (24 Mar 2015)
Peadar Tóibín: Ireland has a very steep incomes gradient. A steep incomes gradient is not necessarily good for a cohesive society. We are here to focus on wages as a cost of doing business. The committee is focussing on the 4.7% at the bottom. I am just wondering why there is no attention given to the 4.7% at the top.
