The National Minimum Wage was introduced in Ireland in April 2000. This study is based on a survey carried out in late 2000/early 2001, commissioned by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, which re-interviewed firms which had been surveyed before the introduction of the minimum wage. The results are used to assess the impact of the minimum wage on employment, wage levels and other aspects of work organization among Irish firms.
