Prior to the financial emergency, the pay scales applying to the PDF also applied to the Army Reserve and Naval Service Reserve. The pay cuts that applied to the PDF also applied to the RDF. The rates applicable to the Army reserve and Naval Service reserve were also subjected to a reduction of 10% under the Haddington Road agreement or the public service stability agreement, PSSA, 2013-2016. The restoration of pay is ongoing and is being conducted in accordance with PSSA 2013-2018 and PSSA 2018-2020 and with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. Contact is ongoing between my Department and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform to ensure that the correct pay restoration is applied to both the Army reserve and Naval Service reserve. I have asked my officials to expedite this matter.
