Insofar as local authorities are concerned, I refer to the reply to Question No. 417 on today’s Order Paper.

All payments made to staff in my Department are made in accordance with Department of Public Expenditure and Reform pay policy. No exemption to pay policy has been made in respect of any official in my Department or in respect of any employee of an agency under the aegis of my Department.

My Department has recently written to all CEOs requesting confirmation regarding their compliance with public sector pay policy.
