The Government has committed to establishing a low pay commission. When will it be established and what sectors will be included? As we know, workers in the early childhood care sector have no security of employment and often are on low wages.

Please do not go into too much detail.

Some people with a degree are only earning a little above the minimum wage. Will this sector be included in the remit of the low-pay commission?

Before Christmas the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, gave a commitment to bring forward legislation on asylum centres. As we know, 61 people, including 16 children, have died in asylum centres since they were founded. When will the Government bring forward comprehensive legislation to deal with this issue and to ensure a maximum timeframe will be put in place for those in asylum centres?

Legislation was brought to the Dáil before Christmas to require valid national car test certificates for all vehicles. This move is notable and only right. However, there is a four to five-month waiting list in many centres throughout the country. Motorists are unsure whether they are insured to drive their cars or whether they will be subject to penalty points. What is the Government doing to ensure what I imagine was an unforeseen implication will be addressed?

I expect the news on the low pay commission to be announced in the coming weeks. If people working in the child care sector have issues in respect of low pay, I imagine they can bring them to the attention of the commission or raise them through other industrial relations procedures.

Will the sector be covered by the commission?

Its purpose is to look at the issue of low pay.

Is the answer "Yes" or "No"?

I expect the commission to be established in the coming weeks. The Minister has made a commitment that the commission will produce an initial report sometime during the summer. I do not as yet have the detailed terms of reference, but, as the name suggests, the purpose of the commission is to look at the issue of low pay.

There is a group working on the matter of asylum centres under the leadership of the Minister of State, Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin. It is looking at all issues related to asylum. I imagine any future legislation will reflect the work of the group. I do not have a completion date for its work, but I know that a great deal of work has been undertaken, including extensive visits to asylum centres throughout the country by the Minister of State and other individuals, parties and groups with a specific interest in asylum issues.
