Public Accounts Committee
Garda Síochána - Review of Allowances
4:10 pm
Mr. John Redmond:
I can. The cut is in the region of 20%. First, let us take the 6% that was to be paid as a result of the Towards 2016 agreement that was not paid and will not be paid. That is a fact. That is 6%. The general pay cut was 7%. The pay allowances cut was 5%. Subsidies and travel in the organisation have been cut by 25%. The pension related deduction is now 10.25%. The universal social charge is 5%. I again refer to the unpaid pay increase of 6%. The cuts are all different. As percentages go they add up to far more than 20%, but they are not all pay cuts. In the round it is between 20% and 25% of a pay cut that we have experienced overall.
