Question 178: To ask the Minister for Finance his views on freezing or reversing the recent pay increase awarded to persons at principal officer level and above in view of the depth of feeling among public servants that the higher paid are benefiting disproportionately; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6148/09]

No increase has been awarded to persons at Principal Officer level or above. I presume that the Deputy is referring to the very limited number of increases recommended by the last Benchmarking Body to, among others, Principal Officers. Those increases have not been paid.
