I refer to the parliamentary question raised regarding increases due to a member of Revenue staff under the Building Momentum Agreement. The NSSO has advised Revenue that they faced a number of significant challenges in delivering these increases in such a short time frame. In response to this challenge, the NSSO created a dedicated project team, incorporating experts from both HR and Payroll areas. The NSSO have now completed over 99% of the February and October pay increases and are working hard to deliver the remaining arrears as quickly as possible. These remaining cases are complex and require extensive manual investigation, however, significant progress had been made to date and the NSSO has commenced processing arrears for these members of staff, the first of which were made on pay day 22 June 2023. I am advised that the arrears due to Ms O’Leary will issue to her on pay day 6 July 2023.
