There would be only very minimal if any additional cost in respect of staff of my Department as the lowest gross annual salary would be at or about the equivalent of the €11.45 per hour referred to in your question.

Information in respect of bodies under the aegis of my Department is being collated and will be forwarded to you as soon as possible. I have asked the HSE to respond to you directly on the matter. If you have not received a reply from the HSE within 15 working days please contact my Private Office and they will follow up the matter with them.
