104. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the steps he will take to address the discrepancy in pay between temporary clerical officers and permanent staff in the shared services organisation in the Civil Service that has taken over much of the work done by local HR sections.

I can confirm that the pay of Temporary Clerical Officers "TCO's" and Clerical Officers "CO's" in my Department, which includes the National Shared Services Office, is controlled by the relevant circulars issued by my Department.  As with all civil servants, their pay is subject to Government pay policy and the two most recent circulars, 2/2014 and 17/2015 have been applied.  I am not aware of any discrepancy and the current pay of TCO's and CO's reflects the appropriate pay scales and pension schemes.
