The suggested living wage at €12.30 per hour based on the Civil Service 37 hour standard net working week equates to an annual salary of €23,747.

Those currently on an annual salary of less than €23,747 may be receiving remuneration in excess of the suggested living wage through additional premium payments in respect of shift or atypical working hours or are on salary scales that progress to the suggested living wage and above through incremental progression.

There is one employee of my Department whose annual basic salary is currently less than this amount.

The National Economic and Social Development Office (NESDO), the only body under the aegis of my Department, has no staff earning less than this amount.
