210. To ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the number of workers employed by his Department, and in each office or agency, under the aegis of his Department who earn less than the living wage of €12.30 per hour; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33600/21]

There are 41 full-time staff members employed by this Department that earn less than €12.30 per hour. These staff members are currently all on incremental payscales which will see them rise to above the living wage rate after 4 years of service under the provision in the Public Service Stability Agreement for public servants recruited since 2011 to skip their fourth and eighth increments.

I have asked the Agencies under my Department's aegis to provide the information directly to the Deputy. Please contact my private office if a reply has not been received within 10 days.
