The Low Pay Commission undertake an examination of the impact of the National Minimum Wage on two sectors, young people and women. 

The new body tasked with advising the Government on the appropriate rate of the national minimum wage is calling for submissions and is now seeking the views of anyone with an interest in the minimum wage, as part of a public consultation process.

The newly established Low Pay Commission is due to report back to the Government in mid-July on the appropriate rate for the national minimum wage, following its first meeting last Thursday.
