515. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to set out the cost of ensuring that all public servants are being paid the minimum living wage of €11.50 per hour or above. [27499/16]
View answerIn response to the Deputy's question, the following table outlines the cost of ensuring that all staff in my Department and the bodies under its aegis are paid €11.50 per hour or above. Such information in respect of other Government Departments and bodies under their aegis would have to be the subject of separate questions to the relevant Ministers.
