Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy can be assured that I am doing my best to bring these issues to the fore. I have received a copy of the pay commission report but it is not my memorandum to bring to Government. It is the memorandum of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Donohoe. As Deputy Chambers, his party and its finance spokesman will be well aware, public sector pay is a matter for Deputy Donohoe, as Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and for Finance. I expect the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, to bring that report to Cabinet over the next short while.

I have engaged with the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, on this issue since I received the report. It would be wrong of me if I did not. As soon as the Minister brings the report to Cabinet, it will be published.
