A provision of €698,000 has been included in my Department’s 2016 Pay Allocation to cover costs arising from the Lansdowne Road Agreement. Any other pressures on the staffing budget that may arise during 2016 will be met from within the Department’s 2016 Pay Allocation unless specific approval is received from the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
