I wish to inform the Deputy that the cost of implementing a living wage of €11.70 per hour for all employees directly employed by my Department would be €20,133.89 annually.

With regard to the cost of implementing a living wage of €11.70 per hour for all employees in agencies funded by my department, the Disabled Drivers Medical Board of Appeal is the only body funded by my Department and there would be no additional cost to that organisation if they implemented a living wage of €11.70 per hour for all employees.
