Leo Varadkar: Workers should get pay rises to help with higher living costs

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar: "Now it's not the case that everyone in every workplace is getting a pay raise."

Workers should receive pay rises from companies in 2022 to help deal with the rising cost of living, the Tánaiste has said.

Leo Varadkar was speaking as the Central Bank warned it is on the lookout for “damaging wage increases” as it forecasts inflation will stay higher for longer right up to the summer months.
