An estimated €810m in sustainable pay bill savings and approximately €680m in non-pay or efficiency related savings has been achieved during the first two years of the Public Service Agreement 2010-2014. This is broken down as follows:

Further details on savings set out in the table above are contained in the two annual reports published to date by the Implementation Body for the Public Service Agreement which are available on the Body’s website at www.implementationbody.gov.ie.
