The requested information in relation to the cost of implementing a living wage of €11.70 for all employees directly employed or in agencies funded by my Department is contained in the following table.

Proposed Living Wage Number of staff under this rate Total Cost of introducing living wage concerned
Minimum wage of €11.70 per hour (€26,313.30 p.a) 514€1,725,710.82

In line with D/Per Circular 25/2016 and the Protocol for the Provision of Information to Members of the Oireachtas by State Bodies under the Aegis of Government Departments, I have asked those bodies under the aegis of the Department who have been unable to provide a response in the time available (Property Registration Authority and An Garda Síochána) to write to the Deputy directly, and provide the information requested.
