爱尔兰低薪委员会建议将国家最低工资提高5%, 从13.50欧元提高到每小时14.15 14.17欧元。 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. 如果通过,这一变化将使最低工资工人的每周工资增加约25欧元,导致年收入约为28 700欧元。 If adopted, the change would boost weekly pay by about €25 for minimum wage workers, resulting in an annual income of roughly €28,700. 这一增加将影响到多达200 000名工人,其中许多是妇女、年轻雇员和残疾人。 The increase would affect up to 200,000 workers, many of whom are women, younger employees, and people with disabilities. 政府通常听从委员会的建议。 The government typically follows the Commission’s advice. 然而,商业团体警告说,不断上涨的劳动力成本 -- -- 五年内已经达到35% -- -- 可能会给小企业造成压力,可能导致失业或关闭,促使人们呼吁临时减税。 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.
