The number of staff employed by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine who are earning a wage which would equate to less than €12.30 per hour is 400.

The information in respect State Agencies under the aegis of the Department is an operational matter, generally delegated to the Agencies themselves and I will ask the Agencies to respond directly to the Deputy on this matter.
