I assume the Deputy is referring to the announcement by my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform concerning pay ceilings for CEOs of Semi States and senior public sector posts.

I await the issuing of formal guidelines in relation to the new policy by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform which will set out the posts to which the policy will apply and the posts which may be excepted. At this point I will be able to assess what legislative amendments may be required to give full effect to the new policy and what other considerations need to be taken into account.

There are no positions under the aegis of the Department of Defence which will be affected by the introduction of the new pay ceilings for higher posts across the public service and for CEO posts in Commercial State Companies.
