165. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the allocation for her Department in 2016 which covers the Lansdowne Road agreement; and the demographic or other inflationary pressures. [37284/15]
View answerA provision of €698,000 has been included in my Department’s 2016 Pay Allocation to cover costs arising from the Lansdowne Road Agreement. Any other pressures on the staffing budget that may arise during 2016 will be met from within the Department’s 2016 Pay Allocation unless specific approval is received from the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
