I take it that the Deputy's question assumes that the pay cuts mentioned at the various thresholds would apply to the entire salary and not just to the part of salary which exceeds the relevant threshold. On this basis, it is estimated that the annual savings would be as follows: Option A, €800 million; Option B, €650 million; and Option C, €550 million. It should be noted that the numbers at different salary bands vary from time to time depending on matters such as incremental salary movement, retirements etc.
