In response to the Deputy's question, the following table outlines the cost of ensuring that all staff in my Department and the bodies under its aegis are paid €11.50 per hour or above. Such information in respect of other Government Departments and bodies under their aegis would have to be the subject of separate questions to the relevant Ministers.

OrganisationAnnual Cost
Department of Public Expenditure and Reform€778,057
Institute of Public Administration (IPA)As the lowest salary offered exceeds the living wage, the introduction of the living wage of €11.50 per hour would have no cost implications
Public Appointments Service €140,004
Office of Public Works (OPW) €207,645
Office of the Ombudsman €55,252
Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB)As the lowest salary offered exceeds the living wage, the introduction of the living wage of €11.50 per hour would have no cost implications
