Written answers

Minister for Finance (Deputy Brian Lenihan)

The negotiation of the draft Public Service Pay Agreement was facilitated by Kieran Mulvey and Kevin Foley, drawing on the resources of the Labour Relations Commission. Costs incurred by the Labour Relations Commission are a matter for the Commission itself and I have no operational role in the matter.
