The hospitality sector would need supports if a further increase in the minimum wage is implemented.
That's the view of the President of Vintners' Association of Ireland, as the Low Pay Commission is reportedly set to recommend the minimum wage rise to €13 .70, a jump over €1.
The Irish Independent reports the State is still trying to grapple increased costs for businesses, however it has never rejected a recommendation from the Commission.
