asked the Minister for Justice whether he will state how many hours per week are worked by hall porters and cleaners employed at the Supreme Court of Justice.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - HALL PORTERS' AND CLEANERS' HOURS.
The normal working hours for the cleaners employed in the Court offices are 36 hours per week. The two hall porters work regularly for 42 hours per week and one of them is occupied for an additional two hours each day for seven months of the year in carrying coals.
Does the Minister consider that the remuneration voted here in the estimate is adequate for the number of hours worked?
For porters or cleaners?
Both of them.
I do. The cleaners get 22/9 per week.
Now we know the policy of the Government.
