To ask the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs the directions provided to the payment of staff in the public sector and Civil Service that fall under the direction of her Department for the days during Storm Emma when staff were directed to stay at home; if deductions in pay and annual leave were made to staff in the public sector or Civil Service as a result of days lost during the storm; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Staff in my Department who were not on leave and who stayed at home due to our offices being closed during Storm Emma were paid as normal. Staff who were already on annual leave had annual leave deducted as normal.

My Department did not provide direction to agencies under its remit in this regard.
