The Minister has been asked repeatedly to outline to Members of this House where he will find the savings and efficiencies necessary to meet the €120 million cost of the partial pay restoration for public servants earning below €65,000. That restoration is welcome but we need to know the detail of how the moneys will be found. There is a concern that the Government will cut services to fund the cost of the pay restoration. When the Minister says the increase will be paid for through efficiencies and savings, he has a responsibility to spell out what exactly he means by that.
