-----which had been put forward as reform in the Department of Education and Skills under the Labour Party.

The minimum wage legislation is a related topic. The national minimum wage is due to increase to €9.15 in January. Will organisations funded by Pobal have their funding increased in order that they can pay the minimum wage-----

That is a separate matter. It is not a matter for the Order of Business.

-----to their workers who will be due that payment in January? I understand Pobal is refusing to pay the funding required to the organisations so they can pay the increased minimum wage to workers.

The Deputy should table a parliamentary question on that.

It is due to pressure of business. The question about Pobal could be dealt with as a Topical Issue if the Ceann Comhairle decides to let the Deputy raise it.
