Ged Nash, TD, Labour finance spokesperson. ‘Ireland needs an immediate and significant pay rise’With soaring inflation rates and stagnating wages unable to pay for every-day essentials, both private and public sector workers need an immediate and significant pay rise to combat the cost of living crisis, a Labour TD has said. “The fact is that we are living in a low wage republic and that is simply not good enough. One in five workers in Ireland are low paid and Ireland needs a pay rise. “The Low Pay Commission should also pay real attention to our demand for an increase to the minimum wage without any further delay.”
