I propose to take Questions Nos. 88 and 89 together.

The annual cost of issuing hard copy payslips to all employees paid by my Department is €1675. The annual cost of issuing hard copy payslips to employees of the National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO) is €41. The number of staff issued hard copy payslips annually is 184 and 17 respectively.

The Financial Shared Services Centre, Department of Justice and Equality, Killarney, which process the payroll on my Department's behalf, do provide an online payslip facility in addition to the hard copy payslip. We are currently in discussions regarding the issuing of electronic only payslips.
