Paypackets

Sir, – Further to the letter from the Department of Finance (January 21st), I agree that lower-paid workers will be better off and their net pay will increase.

I would also implore these low-paid workers to do their bit to kickstart the Irish economy by using the extra money to buy a new car, have a staycation and perhaps put an extension on the house. Anything left over could be invested for a rainy day. – Yours, etc,
