Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 24 November 2016
27. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the mechanism he will use to utilise the views of Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas in any pay restoration talks that might take place. [36579/16]
View answerI am very open to and accountable to the Oireachtas through keeping Deputies informed by responses to Parliamentary Questions, engagement with Parliamentary Committees, and engaging with Deputies on specific issues through the reformed Budgetary processess - including on the Summer Economic Statement, Mid Year Expenditure Report and through the National Economic Dialogue.
The Deputy will also be aware that the Annual Review by me as Minister of the operation and effectiveness of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Acts must be laid before the Oireachtas before the end of June.
