As the Deputy may be aware, any adjustments to the salaries of civil and public servants are set out in BUILDING MOMENTUM - A new public service agreement, 2021-2022.

DPER Circular 12/2020 sets out the adjustments to the pay of certain civil servants on 1 October 2020 as provided for under the Public Service Pay and Pensions Act 2017 and is available on gov.ie/circulars. All adjustments to Civil/Public Service salary scales comply with the national minimum wage.  

As the information requested is not readily available in respect of the agencies under my Department's remit, I have asked them to furnish this information directly to the Deputy.
