Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth

Pay scales of staff in my Department are specific to a particular grade rather than gender and are in accordance with instructions from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform

My officials have asked the State Agencies under my remit to respond to you directly on the matter.
