Based on the introduction of a minimum hourly rate of €11.70, the estimated additional cost to the Department's payroll at present would be approximately €345,000. This figure however does not include the costs associated with Temporary Clerical Officers.

The parallel information in respect of State Bodies under the aegis of this Department is a matter for the bodies themselves.
