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.
Organisation | Annual 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 |
