The Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2009 introduced the deduction from the remuneration of public servants who are members of a public service pension scheme or who have an analogous arrangement, provisions to allow public bodies to reduce the professional fees paid by them to external service providers as well as some changes in the early child care supplement and in the Farm Waste Management Scheme. It did not include a power by regulation to reduce rents payable by the State and public bodies under leases of land.
