Payment of salaries to staff of my Department is made in line with pay scales approved by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. If a minimum payment of €11.50 an hour were introduced, the additional costs for my Department are estimated to be in the region of €6,000 (not including Employer’s PRSI). This figure reduces as and when the staff concerned progress along an incremental scale.
In so far as agencies under my Department's aegis are concerned, arrangements have been put in place by each Agency to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. The contact email address for each agency is as follows:
