The Lansdowne Road Agreeement is a Collective Agreement between the Government and public service employers with the Public Services Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) and other associations representing public servants. The terms of the Agreement have been implemented through the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act 2015 and represent an agreed, affordable and fiscally sustainable partial restoration of reductions applied to remuneration of public servants. There are well established formal and informal stuctures in place to address the implementation of the terms of the Agreement. Where implementation issues arise my officials interact with other Departments as and when required through existing formal and informal structures.
