The rate is currently at €13.50 an hour and an increase of 5% would bring the rate to €14.17 an hour.
The Government usually follows the Commission's recommendations.
The national minimum wage rate was last changed on 1 January 2025, when it was increased from €12.70 to €13.50.
The increase from €8.65 in 2015 to €13.50 earlier this year represented an increase of about 55%.
