Under the Lansdowne Road Agreement, agreement was reached between public service staff representatives and public service employers to extend the Public Service Stability Agreement 2013-2016 (Haddington Road Agreement). The Government strongly supports the Lansdowne Road Agreement which remains in place as the centrepiece of public service pay policy. The Agreement provides a negotiated and sustainable pathway for the phased unwinding of Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (FEMPI) pay measures as they apply to existing public servants. Any issues arising in relation to continued operation of the Lansdowne Road Agreement will be addressed by the parties under the oversight and governance arrangements provided for within the Agreement.
