[38250/19]
View answerI can confirm that the number of workers employed by my Department that earn less than the living wage of €12.30 per hour is a total of 35 staff.
This is calculated in line with salary scales in Circular 17/2019, issued by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
In respect of the bodies under the aegis of my Department, information relating to pay in those bodies is a matter for the bodies concerned.
