My Department is in the process of implementing the terms of the Supreme Court Order in the case mentioned by the Deputy.

Payment of appropriate salary arrears have been made to the relevant staff currently serving in my Department. Instructions re payment of arrears in respect of staff that re-deployed from my Department have issued to the Government Departments they currently serve in and I understand that payments have already issued in some cases and will issue shortly in the remaining cases. In regard to pension implications of the Supreme Court findings, arrangements are being made to update service and retirement benefit entitlements.
