Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 June 2021
440. Deputy Sorca Clarke asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of workers employed by his Department and in each office or agency under the aegis of his Department that earn less than the living wage of €12.30 per hour; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33585/21]
View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, any adjustments to the salaries of civil and public servants are set out in BUILDING MOMENTUM - A new public service agreement, 2021-2022.
DPER Circular 12/2020 sets out the adjustments to the pay of certain civil servants on 1 October 2020 as provided for under the Public Service Pay and Pensions Act 2017 and is available on gov.ie/circulars. All adjustments to Civil/Public Service salary scales comply with the national minimum wage.
As the information requested is not readily available in respect of the agencies under my Department's remit, I have asked them to furnish this information directly to the Deputy.
