I wish to advise the Deputy that based on the Civil Service 37 hour standard net working week, there are no staff in my Department, including the Office of Government Procurement, that earn less than €12.30 per hour. 

This is also the position with regard to the National Shared Services Office, the Public Appointments Service, the State Laboratory, the Office of the Ombudsman and the Office of the National Lottery Regulator.  The position in respect of the Office of Public Works is set out in the table below.
