I was involved in this issue when it was dealt with in the Workplace Relations Commission last October. I was involved in the agreement that was reached to provide three different instalments to get up to 8%, with the final one due on 1 March 2024. My understanding is that all the staff employed in relevant organisations should have received their pay increases. That is my understanding. On foot of this matter being raised with me this evening, I will raise it with the Ministers, Deputies O'Gorman and Donnelly, and other Ministers who are involved in it.

I know that additional funding has been provided to allow for further grants to be provided to these organisations and I believed that had enabled increases to take place. That was my understanding. I am not the line Minister with responsibility for these areas but I will certainly follow up on this matter now with the Ministers involved in it after the points Deputies Tully and Boyd Barrett have made to me this evening.
