- Public Sector Pay (4 Jul 2012)
Seán Fleming: That is close to the figure Deputy Howlin's ministerial colleague, Deputy Varadkar, mentioned recently. As Fianna Fáil spokesperson in this area, I accept increments are part of the pay scale. It might not be popular to say that in many sectors but, when a person joins any element of the public service, there is a clear salary scale and the person knows he or she is due a salary increase...
- Public Sector Pay (4 Jul 2012)
Seán Fleming: Will the Minister consider whether it is possible in the interests of low paid workers, who are the majority of workers on increment scales, to obtain information on the increments paid to staff who are currently on salaries of over â¬70,000? While I am not suggesting he can touch these at present, it is an issue that needs to be looked at. I put it to the Minister that while the majority...
- Public Sector Pay (4 Jul 2012)
Seán Fleming: I am pleased the Minister has now put on record the figure of 2,665 civil servants out of approximately 13,000, which is some 14%. It is interesting the Minister says they are eligible for increments this year. In other words, they are in a category where increments can be earned. This means 86% of public servants on increments are below that salary.
- Public Sector Pay (4 Jul 2012)
Seán Fleming: It is important that this be said in the House. I want people to know the facts, including Ministers who attack the concept of increments and who are perhaps happy to attack 86% of public servants because they feel they are playing to their own political support base by doing that. However, I do not believe it is fair to pick on 86% of public sector workers in that situation. I have asked...
- Public Sector Reform (4 Jul 2012)
Seán Fleming: Question 4: To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the actions he will take arising from the issues raised across the public service in the recently published report of the Ombudsman; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [32626/12]
- Public Sector Reform (4 Jul 2012)
Seán Fleming: I compliment the Ombudsman, Ms Emily O'Reilly, on another fine annual report. I will give the Minister the opportunity to comment on the lessons to be learned from the report which is perfect. We support everything in it. Some 3,600 cases were dealt with last year, one third of which originated in the Department of Social Protection, one third in local authorities and one quarter in the...
- Public Sector Reform (4 Jul 2012)
Seán Fleming: Perhaps this question might be more appropriate for the Secretary General or an official in the Department. Perhaps the Secretary General of the Department might bring together the other Secretaries General and the key players identified in the report to deal with the issues highlighted every year. As the chief managers of the public service, they could consider putting a system in place to...
- Public Sector Reform (4 Jul 2012)
Seán Fleming: Perhaps the Minister might provide whatever assistance he can. On page 16 of the Ombudsman's report she talks about the Ombudsman (Amendment) Bill 2008. She says her office is working closely with the Department to progress this important initiative. In the recent annual report, however, there is no mention of the Oireachtas committee. It looks as if it has not yet come across the...
- Semi-State Sector Remuneration (4 Jul 2012)
Seán Fleming: I thank the Minister for that information. The gentleman appointed is receiving a salary of â¬238,727 per annum. Many people felt the general pay scale ceiling was about â¬200,000, with a small number of chief executives getting more than that. I can think of more than 200 staff currently employed in various bodies, including the NTMA and the Central Bank, along with academic medical...
- Semi-State Sector Remuneration (4 Jul 2012)
Seán Fleming: Five or six of them, including the chief executives of An Post, CIE, RTE and Dublin Airport Authority, earn more than the cap of â¬250,000. The Minister is allowing the cap to be breached, but it was the Minister who made an issue of the caps and decided to introduce them in the first place. When he introduces a cap, he should stick to it. Every Sunday the papers contain reports of the...
