Question:

243. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if there are circumstances where it is permitted for a public servant on an incremental salary scale to move up the scale by more than one point in any given year; if his Department has a policy in this matter; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this practice is occurring in some units of the public service; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

In the context of the civil service it is the policy for staff to progress on incremental salary scales on the basis of a single point per annum. The position on incremental salary progression elsewhere in the public service is a matter in the first instance for the particular bodies concerned and their relevant parent Department.
