Ireland’s Low Pay Commission recommends a 5% minimum wage hike to €14.15–€14.17, affecting 200,000 workers.
Ireland’s Low Pay Commission has recommended a 5% increase to the national minimum wage, raising it to €14.15–€14.17 per hour, up from €13.50.
If adopted, the change would boost weekly pay by about €25 for minimum wage workers, resulting in an annual income of roughly €28,700.
The increase would affect up to 200,000 workers, many of whom are women, younger employees, and people with disabilities.
The government typically follows the Commission’s advice.
However, business groups warn that rising labor costs—already up 35% over five years—could strain small firms, potentially leading to job losses or closures, prompting calls for temporary tax relief.
