Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 July 2016
76. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice and Equality the cost of implementing a living wage of €11.50 for all employees directly employed or in agencies funded by her Department; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [24165/16]
View answerI wish to refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question 390 of 17 December 2015 which provided material on the above question.
Since that time, based on current staffing figures, there has been no appreciable change in the estimated cost of approximately €592,000 to my Department of implementing a living wage of €11.50 per hour.
