There are the reports that the Government will sign off on a raise to the minimum wage tomorrow.
Officials raised the wage at the beginning of 2022 by 80c to its' current rate of €10.50 an hour for anyone aged 20 or over.
The Low Pay Commission, which makes recommendations to the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar, reportedly called for another rise in 2023 earlier this year.
The Irish Independent reports that the Government will give the plan the green light tomorrow - bringing the wage up by another 80c an hour to €11.30 an hour.
The publication says that there are also plans for the move towards the introduction of a living wage replacing the minimum with aim of it being €13.70 per hour by 2026.
Under the new plan, the minimum wage would be scrapped and the living wage would be the lowest possible wage that can be paid to workers in Ireland.
The Tánaiste said at the time: "It's crucial that we make sure work pays. Whether you get up in the morning or work late at night, if you're going to do 38 to 40 hours work a week, we should make sure that you have enough to live on.
"In many ways, that's what the living wage is all about, making sure that we eliminate poverty for people who are at work, and also that we make sure work pays."
He added: "The gap between the average person and the person on minimum wage has has widened over the course of the past 30 years. The proposal we're making today will fix that."
