Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 June 2017
28. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the discussions he has had with the Department of Defence with regard to the findings of the Public Service Pay Commission that retention is a key issue within the Defence Forces with pay a significant factor; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26055/17]
View answerThe matters raised by the Deputy are appropriate for deliberation by the management and staff side associations involved in the pay talks which are currently underway under the auspices of the Workplace Relations Commission. The Report of the Public Sector Pay Commission is to inform the pay talks process and it would accordingly be inappropriate to comment further on these matters.
