The estimated full year cost of incremental basic pay increases awarded to existing staff in my Department in 2008 and 2009 is €325,000 and €290,000 respectively.
The cost associated with incremental progression in my Department's Agencies is a day to day issue for those Agencies and I have no function in this matter.

The estimated cost of the Towards 2016 pay increase effective from 1st September 2008 to existing staff in my Department is approximately €475,000 per annum.
The estimated cost of the proposed 3.5% pay increase in the new National Wage Agreement is €680,000 per annum.
Payment of staff salaries in the agencies under the aegis of my Department is a day-to-day operational matter for each agency. I have no direct function in this matter.
