The estimated savings from the application of the recent public service pay cuts are currently being finalised with the Department of Finance pending publication of the Revised Estimate Volume later this month. The savings for my Department are likely to be in the region of €9.8 million in 2010. There are currently 2,860 whole time equivalent staff paid from the Departments Vote (Vote 19) and the pay reductions were applied in accordance with the provisions of the relevant circular from the Department of Finance.
