Amharc ar fhreagra328. Deputy Ruth Coppinger asked the Minister for Education and Skills the cost of introducing a minimum weekly gross wage of €600 for all full-time employees under the aegis of his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34557/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 327 and 328 together.
The data requested by the Deputy is not collected or collated by my Department. There are over 3,700 individual employers in the education and training sector and it would require a disproportionate amount of time and administrative resources to gather the data sought by the Deputy.
