Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 April 2009
65 Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Finance the reason public service staff were deducted a days pay in respect of industrial action yet had to pay the pension levy for five days; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14676/09]
View answerThe pension related deduction applies to income earned by public servants on or after 1 March 2009. Should any over-deductions have been made in individual cases in respect of industrial action taken prior to that date, such deductions would fall to be restored in line with normal practice.
