The public service pay commission was set up after a required period of consultation with all the signatories to the Lansdowne Road agreement. The full panel has now been appointed and it is chaired by the former chairman of the Labour Court, Mr. Kevin Duffy. The timing of the report and the material to be included is a matter for the commission now, as it is independent. We have set in place terms of reference and, as part of those, there is mention of the issue raised by Deputy Barry. I expect it will take the commission into early next year to do that work.
