Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 April 2022
1113. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth the number of persons employed by his Department and bodies under the aegis of his Department with a rate of pay below the living wage of €12.30; the role that those persons occupy within his Department or relevant body; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19623/22]
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.
A suggested living wage of €12.30 per hour would equate to an annual salary of €23,747, based on a standard civil service net working week of 37 hours. DPER Circular 04/2022 sets out the adjustments to the pay of certain civil servants on 1 February 2022 and is available on gov.ie/circulars.
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.
