90. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform his plans to impose additional reductions in pay, and changes to working terms and conditions, on those public sector workers who are members of unions who have not signed up to the Lansdowne Road agreement; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As I explained during the debates at Committee and Report Stages of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill 2015 the Government will adhere in full to its commitments under the Haddington Road and Lansdowne Road Agreements. Therefore the issue of additional reductions in pay, and changes to working terms and conditions for public service workers does not arise. I would expect those who benefit from the Agreement to abide by the terms of that Agreement which has been ratified by the Public Services Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions.
