Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 June 2021
738. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Education the number of workers employed by her Department and in each office or agency under the aegis of her Department that earn less than the living wage of €12.30 per hour; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30995/21]
View answerThe suggested living wage at €12.30 per hour, based on a 37 hour standard net working week, equates to an annual salary of €23,747. 1 member of staff in my Department is currently earning just below this annual salary amount but are on a salary scale that progresses to the suggested living wage and above through incremental progression.
There are no staff currently employed in bodies under the aegis of my Department earning less than the suggested living wage.
