§ Mr. FIELDasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that the window-cleaning contracts for the Commissioners of Public Works and postal authorities have been given to a firm who do not observe the Fair-Wage Resolutions, and fail to pay their employés the standard rate; and whether he will cause inquiry to be made and provide a remedy?
§ Mr. MASTERMANI understand that the statement is not correct. There is no trade union of window cleaners in Ireland, and I am informed that the wages paid by the firms which hold contracts under the Board of Works and Post Office are fully up to the average of those paid by the other window-cleaning firms in Dublin.
