Sir, - I was delighted to hear the Government is to introduce a minimum wage of £4.40 per hour from April 1st next. As a fully paid up, 24 hours a day, old age pensioner, I will now be entitled to an agreeable £105.60 per day or £739 per week.
However, the relevance of the introductory date is now beginning to dawn on me. - Yours, etc.,
Paddy Kavanagh, Sandymount, Dublin 4.
