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

Remuneration of Senior Civil Servants: Discussion

Mr. Martin Fraser:

The policy is as the Senator outlined and the restoration of the pay cuts have happened from the bottom up. As the Senator will be aware, there are very few people who have not had the pay cuts restored, all of whom are at the top of the system. In that sense the policy has been fair. This case is an exception and of course, it runs somewhat counter to that concept.
