668. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht why employees of Údarás na Gaeltachta, grades 1 to 5, are not employed on pay scales comparable to the public service, when this pay differential first came into place, its impact on pensions for those employees, the engagement she has had with the staff unions on behalf of employees; if a resolution to the issue is possible; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

I am advised that pays scales and a staff structure at Údarás na Gaeltachta were originally agreed between management and the unions and implemented in October 2000. I understand that a request for a review of that agreement has been submitted to my Department and will be examined, in due course, in consultation with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform.
