Public Accounts Committee
Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, Houses of the Oireachtas Commission - Review of Allowances
4:30 pm
Mr. Robert Watt:
We are engaging on 88 allowances with staff representative bodies. We will see how we go on that. We indicated the end of February for the completion of that process. There are other key issues in modifying pay structures in the medium term - it depends on different issues in other sectors - but the Minister has set out an ambition to modernise the process as quickly as possible.
