Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Arising from the current examination of remuneration practices in Health Sector Agencies, the Committee of Public Accounts has asked all Accounting Officers for assurances that public sector employees are in compliance with public pay policy. On foot of this request my Department will be seeking the necessary assurances regarding compliance from institutions in the Education Sector.
