Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report 95: Financial Reporting in the Public Sector (6 Jul 2017) David Cullinane: I will be more distinct. A debate is happening outside the Houses. The trade union movement through ICTU, IBEC on behalf of the business groups and almost every other group is saying that the fiscal rules in respect of capital spending are not fit for purpose. The Committee on Budgetary Oversight will publish a report that will say the same. What is the Department that is responsible for...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report 95: Financial Reporting in the Public Sector (6 Jul 2017) David Cullinane: It would be helpful if Mr. Watt was able to furnish this committee with the application of the rules in respect of capital spend, and details of what flexibilities have been agreed with the Commission in recent years. Smoothing is one example, and the Department of Finance told us there were others which we had succeeded in getting from the Commission. If there are other flexibilities which...

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report 95: Financial Reporting in the Public Sector (6 Jul 2017) David Cullinane: I will come to public sector pay shortly. I have a slight concern that, outside the Committee of Public Accounts, there is an ongoing live and necessary debate on the application of the fiscal rules and their fairness, and whether they are fit for purpose. In a Dáil committee this morning, the Minister expressed the view that they were not but I do not get a sense of urgency from...

Mr. Watt spoke of industrial peace in respect of the new public sector pay agreement. What was the key issue that brought about industrial unrest in the public service in recent years? What was the one issue that drove industrial unrest?

Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report 95: Financial Reporting in the Public Sector (6 Jul 2017) David Cullinane: The key driver of industrial disputes and threatened industrial action, in An Garda Síochána, teachers, nurses etc., has been the issue of restoring the public sector to a single-tier pay structure or equal pay for equal work. I have met Mr. Watt and the Minister a number of times on this issue and have tried to get a costing for returning the public service to a single-tier pay...

From 1 January 2011, in addition to all of the other FEMPI cuts, workers who came into the system suffered further cuts. There was some merging of bands in the Haddington Road agreement and there were PRD changes in the most recent agreement. I fully...
