Mr. Watt mentioned the Public Service Pay Commission. I met Mr. Watt on this issue in a previous role. What is the current position regarding pay equalisation for public servants recruited since 2011? Where will they be at the end of the time period for resolving this issue?
A number of pay restoration increases have been made to public servants as a consequence of pay agreements. They range depending on income. Does Mr. Watt have to hand a breakdown of these increases, for example, for someone on a salary of €150,000 compared with someone on a salary of €50,000? What would someone have received who was earning €150,000 at the beginning of pay restoration compared to someone on an average income of €40,000 to €50,000? It would be great if Mr. Watt had those figures and if he could walk us through the plan to deal with those affected by the additional reduction in public service pay in 2011.
