As the Deputy may be aware, Section 20 of the Public Service Pay and Pensions Act, 2017, set out that restoration for public servants with annualised basic salaries above €150,000 would be completed by Ministerial Order by 1^stJuly 2022. In accordance with the legislation, an Order under Section 20 of the Act was laid before the Oireachtas on the 30^thof June.

The Department of Public Expenditure (DPER) recently advised Departments of the process to be followed to confirm the 1^stJuly restoration for affected posts under their aegis prior to restoration being given effect. As this process is ongoing and no pay increases under the legislation can be made until they have been verified by DPER, I have asked officials from my Department to respond directly to you with information on any pay increases to apply once this process has been concluded.
