The employment crisis in the hospitality sector.

So if I went into a McDonald's in Paris the lads working the friers and flipping burgers are highly skilled and highly paid.

McDonald's is a hospitality restaurant whether you like it or not.

We also pay staff more than almost every country in the EU. That's a fact due to our high minimum wage, despite you constantly claiming otherwise.

Why are you making up stupid and dumb arguments that no one is making to try and stand by your own points that are also stupid and dumb?

Why are you following me around the place trolling? Not your first rodeo is it?

We dont pay staff more relative to the cost of living than they do elsewhere thats the point. Looking at minimum wage in isolation is stupid and proves nothing.

So the taxpayer will have to house these new cheap workers because the wages will be too low to do so. And in turn subsidize the hospitality sector.

Sounds like a plan.

Not your first rodeo either it seems. Shame, id keep you around a bit longer.

Anyway, let's get back to talking about how an 18-year-old is demanding a company car for collecting glasses in a pub..... ;)

The only large cafe I know is Dunnes stores Mary's Street, I think theres plenty of old style chippers left where you can get a good meal. I think there's a problem in that rents are very high, rental units are mediocre, why would someone travel here from Poland or Italy to work in a pub or a cafe in the old days there were bedsits where you could rent a room for low rent. In the last 4 years rents have gone up every year, if someone buys an apartment in dublin for 300k they ll need to

Charge a high rent to pay the mortgage and also pay tax on the income. I read an article about an Irish man going to work in Germany he says its much cheaper to live there there's rent control and its a more relaxing place to live than dublin

I think more people will leave Ireland as there's other places to go where you can live with a lower cost of living and a wider choice of rental options

The pandemic has had many effects and caused people to think about the job they do where they live the government will have to do something like maybe give extra tax credits to people on low incomes or else do something to increase supply of rental units aimed at people on say 20k or less income

I think they have a similar problem in America eg some city's are so expensive to live in due to house prices they have a shortage of workers like cleaners bar staff workers on low incomes can't pay 200 dollars rent per week many industry's in USA are short of workers

That's the problem nowadays, people choose to go on welfare over working! There is not a big enough gap between welfare and minimum wage. Like should the minimum wage be E15 per hour, e20?! Throw in employers prsi etc n the whole thing gets unsustainable fairly lively.

I think you'll find the majority of people in council houses work, but nice try.

Chipper near me I went to a few months ago- cash only- I was shocked, barely had enough cash. Presumably a tax avoidance swindle. The state of the place in general, posters and stuff stuck to the walls for years, decor from the early 90s I’d say. It’s amazing alright the cynical approach of some places. Though the food isn’t bad there and hygiene appears ok

Cuts in taxation for who? There is no income tax on the first €17,000 earned per annum. Then 20% income tax is charged on income between €17,000 and €36,800. Somebody earning €36,800 a year pays €3,960 in income tax (I'm ignoring USC and PRSI here). That's a rate of 10.76%. How can this be cut any further?

Should low income workers be homeless?

Yes and some parts of the industry exploit this for all it's worth. Then moan when they can't get enough to sign up. Authors of their own misfortune. Take all the subsidies and supports from them and let the good ones stand on their own feet and the rest go to the wall.
