Matters in relation to the sectoral specific issue raised by the Deputy are for consideration by the relevant Minster in the first instance.
In the regard it is open to a Minister with responsibility for a particular sector to propose changes for my consideration. This is particularly so in relation to cost-increasing issues which fall to be considered within existing budgetary provisions. The Deputy will be aware that I have a statutory role in relation to financial expenditure including most specifically in relation to remuneration.
To date, no business case has been received by my Department in relation to the issue raised by the Deputy.
