Written answers

Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

I propose to take Questions Nos. 622 and 623 together.

After full implementation of the Lansdowne Road Agreement, the full year cost of unwinding the remaining FEMPI measures for public servants earning less than €65,000 gross per year is approximately €780m plus PRSI. The full year cost of unwinding the remaining FEMPI measures for public servants earning greater than €65,000 gross per year is approximately €632m plus PRSI.
