I understand from the clarification kindly provided by the Deputy this query relates to members of Interview/Selection Boards in the Public Appointments Service.

The following rates are payable to members of Interview/Selection Boards in the Public Appointments Service. These rates have been in place since the 1st July 2013.

Retired Public Servants (on pension):

Grade
Secretary General €377
Deputy Secretary €295
Assistant Secretary €200
Principal €150
Assistant Principal €130

The rates payable to retired Public Servants for serving on Interview Boards are currently subject to a review by my officials.

My Department is continuing to engage with the relevant stakeholders to obtain all of the necessary data and evidence to inform policy decisions. I expect the review to be finalised in the first half of 2024.
