Question:

14 Deputy Robert Troy asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will provide an update of the review of public service allowances; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25913/12]

Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills (Deputy Ruairí Quinn)

As the Deputy will be aware, the review of allowances in the public service which is ongoing at the moment is being conducted by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. It would not be appropriate for me at this stage to comment on the detail of this review or to speculate on its possible outcome pending the completion of the review and its consideration by Government.
