Ms Teresa Cody:

The first question raised by Deputy Louise O’Reilly, and also asked by Deputy Durkan, concerned the instruction to cut pay and the position in 2010 and 2013. The position is that the budgets were cut and bloc grants were cut. It was then a matter for the individual employer to decide exactly what mix of actions should be taken to achieve the goal of reducing costs. That is the information I have on 2010.
