The estimated cost of hiring an additional 30 staff at Clerical Officer level in my Department is €1,086,189.91.

This is based on an annual cost of €36,206.33 per employee, which includes the Department's PRSI contribution of 11.05% per annum in line with PRSI rates published on GOV.ie at  www.gov.ie/en/publication/ffa563-prsi-class-a-rates/.

The Deputy may wish to note that the estimated cost is calculated based on the mid-point of a Clerical Officer Standard PPC scale.

I understand that the report of the independent study on Familicide and Domestic Homicide Review will be finalised in the coming weeks. 

Once the review is finalised, its recommendations will be considered carefully with a view to their implementation where appropriate.  This consideration would include the costing of any new structures considered necessary.
