The HSE Home Support Service is a matter for the Department of Health and the HSE and I have no role in the matter.

It would not be appropriate for to provide a legal interpretation of the National Minimum Wage Act 2000. Alleged breaches of the National Minimum Wage legislation should be taken up with the Workplace Relations Commission directly by the affected parties.
