Introduction
The Public Consultation on what recommendations the Low Pay Commission should make to Government on the rate of the National Minimum Wage is an important opportunity to ensure that minimum income in Ireland allows for an adequate standard of living.
In 2019 the Simon Communities in Ireland support over 18,000 men, women and children at risk of or experiencing homelessness. We are committed to working towards an Ireland without homelessness. One of the most important tools in the fight against homelessness is those actions we can take to prevent homelessness from occurring in the first instance.
