The Bill will have to be examined...

Seanad: Public Service Pay and Pensions Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (14 Dec 2017)

Paddy Burke: I want to ask about the restoration of pay in 2019 for public servants who are, as it is called, non-covered. What exactly is meant by "non-covered"?

Deputy Pearse Doherty said that the peak in those offshore accounts went up from €2.4 billion in 2008 to €2.8 billion by 2010.
