Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Remuneration of Senior Civil Servants: Discussion

Mr. Martin Fraser:

I am sorry but I am going to have to think hard about this. I believe the Government was presented some time ago with a Public Service Pay Commission report, which suggested that there be some sort of transparent higher remuneration in the public service. This includes, obviously, senior politicians as well. The Government decided not to set it up. I cannot remember. I can come back to the Deputy with the details on that. To go back to Deputy Mairéad Farrell's point, I think it would be much better if there was an independent assessment of the evidence base for these decisions.
