To ask the Minister for Education and Skills the number of persons employed by his Department and bodies under the aegis of his Department with a rate of pay below the living wage of €12.30; the role that those persons occupy within his Department or relevant body; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

An hourly rate of €12.30, based on a 37 hour standard net working week, equates to an annual salary of €23,747. I can confirm that there are no staff currently employed in my Department, or in bodies under the aegis of my Department, earning less than this suggested living wage.
