The salaries of staff in the education sector who earn more than €100,000 have been independently established through the normal pay determination structures for the Public Sector and there are no plans to alter these arrangements.

As the Deputy will be aware there have been two pay cuts for public servants since the beginning of the financial crisis and, as part of the Public Service Stability (Haddington Road) Agreement 2013-2016, the Government has affirmed that public service pay will not be revisited over the lifetime of the Agreement.
