The forum will include trade unions, employers and representatives of civil society. It will have to discuss the meaning of a living wage ‘in a structured way’. This commission is to be given the power to recommend the national minimum wage should be increased progressively over time. However, the Government is set to argue that the higher proposed ‘living wage’ can be introduced on a voluntary basis only. The actual minimum wage stands at €8.65. The Minister of State for Business and Employment stated that the minimum wage is the floor beneath which nobody should be allowed to fall. The government has been working with UK agencies exploring how the living wage concept had been developed and implemented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.irishtimes.com\u002Fnews\u002Fireland\u002Firish-news\u002Fged-nash-says-forum-on-living-wage-to-be-set-up-1.2121692\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.irishtimes.com\u002Fnews\u002Fireland\u002Firish-news\u002Fged-nash-says-forum ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.irishtimes.com\u002Fnews\u002Fsocial-affairs\u002Flow-pay-group-to-get-powers-to-gradually-raise-minimum-wage-1.2091598\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.irishtimes.com\u002Fnews\u002Fsocial-affairs\u002Flow-pay-group-to-get-powers-to-gradually ...  \u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">\u003Cbr\u002F>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
