The scale of pay for-full-time male cleaners in my Department in Dublin is 156/9d. by 7/1d. to 178/- per week and for part-time male cleaners, who are paid on an hourly basis, the rate is 3½d. per hour for the first five years service and 3/5d. per hour thereafter. Full-time female cleaners in Dublin are paid a fixed rate of 91/7d. per week and part-time female cleaners are paid at the rate of 2/5½d. per hour.
There are no full-time cleaners employed by my Department at Cork or Limerick. The rates of pay for part-time cleaners employed by my Department in those cities are 3/1½d. per hour for the first five years and 3/5d. per hour thereafter in the case of males and 2/3½d. per hour in the case of females.
