Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 October 2015
294. Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform if he will provide, in tabular form, a detailed breakdown of the costs of implementing the Lansdowne Road agreement in each Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34100/15]
View answerThe estimated overall additional cost of implementing the Lansdowne Road Agreement to the public service paybill (inclusive of the previously committed costs attributable to the Haddington Road Agreement) in each year of the Agreement is €267m in 2016, €290m in 2017, and €287m in 2018. Of the total accumulated cost €278m is attributable to the pre-existing Haddington Road Agreement commitments. This should be compared to public service pay bill savings of €2.1bn annually, achieved as a direct result of pay reductions under the FEMPI legislation.
The detailed breakdown of the costs of implementing the Agreement in each Department is currently a matter of ongoing consideration in the context of finalising the Budget estimates for 2016.
