I propose to take Questions Nos. 527 and 528 together.
Under the Labour Relations Commission proposals, which are currently the subject of ballot, for those on salaries of €65,000 to €100,000 (inclusive of certain fixed allowances) will see the regular pay scales, at existing levels, reinstated in 2016, and incremental progression will resume. The model for the resumption of pay progression will be the subject of further discussion and agreement between the parties in the event of the LRC proposals being ratified. For the purpose of determining who will be subject to this measure, certain fixed allowances in the nature of pay will be taken in to account. Premia payments are addressed separately in the proposals.
