Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 8 November 2016
268. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the net gain for a Deputy following the full implementation of the Lansdowne Road agreement and a separate registered agreement for those on over €65,000 as part of the HRA; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33763/16]
View answerThe Lansdowne Road Agreement, underpinned by the FEMPI 2015 Act, brought in a reduction of Pension Related Deduction (PRD) for all public servants. The reduction in PRD in 2017 will benefit TDs in the amount of €1,000.
Pay restoration for TDs under the Haddington Road Agreement, also underpinned by the FEMPI 2015 Act, will be paid in two equal phases with the first phase due on 1 April 2017, and the second on 1 January 2018. This will amount to an increase of €2,707 in each year.
