More than 165,000 workers are on course for a pay bump under coalition plans to increase the minimum wage by at least 55 cent an hour, pushing it above €14.  A report submitted by the Low Pay Commission to Enterprise Minister ­Peter Burke recommended an increase of between 4 and a half and 5 percent on the minimum wage. This would amount to around 65c an hour above the current rate of €13.50. 

All to discuss with Adrian Cummins CEO Restaurant Association of Ireland.
