Amharc ar fhreagraI wish to refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Question 390 of 17 December 2015 which provided material on the above question.
Since that time, based on current staffing figures, there has been no appreciable change in the estimated cost of approximately €592,000 to my Department of implementing a living wage of €11.50 per hour.
