It is very important we get as much information as possible in regard to the area of increments, in particular data with regard to how many people are getting increments, what level they are at and in what Departments. This needs to be made available as quickly as possible in advance of the budget and I ask that it be provided across the entire public sector. With €170 million involved, perhaps there is scope for savings to be made which could be distributed towards very needy projects and protecting services for vulnerable people.
