I propose to take Questions Nos. 396 and 397 together.
The proposed Agreement runs from 2018- 2020 and has a total cost over that period of €887 million, with annual costs as follows:
2018: €178 million
2019: €370 million
2020: €339 million
The pay measures also have a carry-over cost into 2021 of €227 million.
The costs of the proposed pension contribution reforms are included in the annual cost outlined above. The yield from PRD will fall from over €700 million at present to some €550 million in 2020 which will now become a permanent additional pension contribution. These reforms will make a major contribution to the future sustainability of public service pensions.
