The Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interests Acts 2009 to 2013 provide for a range of pay and pension reduction measures in respect of serving and retired public servants. The FEMPI legislation is available on my Departments website at .

The Lansdowne Road Agreement begins the process of unwinding the financial emergency measures in a prudent and sustainable fashion thereby reducing the risk to the sustainability of the public finances.

The terms of this agreement are being implemented under the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2015, with effect from 1 January 2016, at a full year cost of €844m to 2018. Additional provision has also been made for an amelioration of the Public Service Pension Reduction for public service pensioners at an additional full year cost of €90m in 2018.
