Question:

247. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the basic pay for TDs, Ministers of State, Ministers and the Taoiseach in each of the years from 2007 to 2017; the basic pay that will apply to TDs, Ministers of State, Ministers and the Taoiseach in each of the years from 2018 to 2021; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54643/17]

Written answers

The information requested by the Deputy is set out in the tables below. I would point out that Members of the Government and Ministers of State are forgoing any pay restoration during the period of this Government by way of personal waivers; and the Public Service Pay and Pensions Act 2017 specifically precludes them from benefitting from the further unwinding of pay cuts provided under the Act for other Public Servants in 2021-2022.
