Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 May 2017
405. Deputy John Curran asked the Minister for Education and Skills when the Public Service Pay Commission will issue its initial report; to outline the timeframe to end inequality in teachers pay structures; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20716/17]
View answerI understand that the Public Service Pay Commission is due to report shortly in accordance with the general time frame envisaged when it was originally established.
The Government established the Commission to examine pay levels across the public service, including entry levels of pay. In that context, consideration of entry levels of pay cannot focus on just the education sector. A broader assessment of pay and entry levels of pay across the public service will be informed by the analysis of the Public Service Pay Commission.
