asked the Minister for Finance what decision has been arrived at respecting salary at which Lytton entrants to the Civil Service are to commence.
CEISTEANNA—QUESTIONS. ORAL ANSWERS. - LYTTON ENTRANTS TO CIVIL SERVICE.
If I am correct in understanding that the Deputy is referring to the question of the grant to Clerical Officers who entered the Civil Service prior to the change of Government under the Lytton examinations of the increase of salary recently given to similar entrants in the British service following the report of the South-borough Committee, I can only say that the matter is still under consideration, but I hope to be able to announce a decision at an early date.
Arising out of that answer, can the Minister state how many times he has hoped to deal with this matter at an early date?
As it is not a matter that particularly troubles me, I could not say at the moment.
