The Taoiseach Micheál Martin has denied that his Government has "left workers out in the cold" after the Irish Congress of Trade Union's withdrawal from the Low Pay Commission.

In a fiery Leaders' Questions, Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald accused the Government of leaving low-paid workers, many of whom have been classed as essential workers during the pandemic, behind.
