In reply to the Deputy in the Dáil a number of weeks ago I said we had challenges. We are going through the process with the Public Service Pay Commission. Adjudications are happening. If fixing pay was within my remit, it would have been fixed long ago, but it is not within my remit. It is the responsibility of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. We have highlighted all of the challenges in the Naval Service, the Air Corps and the Army in our submissions to the Public Service Pay Commission. I am hopeful the outcome will be positive.
