Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

OPW welcomes and encourages diversity and inclusion within our organisation and we currently employ 12 supported general operatives and additional needs staff. Supported general operatives pay increases are paid in line with other public sector pay increases. Not all cases and entitlements are the same for each person and OPW engage with the employee and their family, where applicable.
