Primary responsibility for the provision of statistical information in the area of employment, including pay in individual sectors, is a matter for the Central Statistics Office which falls under the remit of the Department of the Taoiseach.

From information supplied by the Central Statistics Office, I understand that it has introduced a new survey, the national employment survey, NES, which is an integrated survey of employers and employees and collects information on, inter alia, pay and hours worked. Both the public and private sectors were included in this survey on the same basis. Information from the 2003 NES will be published within the next few weeks and will include sectoral and gender disaggregated information on hourly and weekly pay.
