The direct costs associated with the implementation of the payroll function by my Department is set out in Table 1. Due to the fact that the payroll function is administered by a sub-section of a much larger Finance Unit, it is not possible to provide details of indirect overhead costs, such as heating, electricity consumption, etc.

Many of the agencies under the aegis of my Department operate their own payroll systems and my Department has no function in relation to, or details of, those systems. However, my Department currently manages the payroll function for the following bodies:

Companies Registration Office

Competition Authority

Employment Appeals Tribunal

Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority (IAASA)

Labour Court

Labour Relations Commission

National Consumer Agency

National Employment Rights Authority

Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement

Registry of Friendly Societies
