Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 July 2020
238. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the degree to which FEMPI restoration policy has been completed in line with previous agreements and expectations; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17443/20]
View answerSince 2015 it has been the objective of successive Governments to gradually unwind this legislation in a sustainable manner. This has been accomplished on a negotiated basis with staff interests, firstly through the Lansdowne Road Agreement 2016-2018(LRA) and now the Public Service Stability Agreement 2018-2020 (PSSA).
The PSSA was given legal effect by the Oireachtas in the Public Service Pay and Pensions Act 2017.
While the Agreement is due to expire at the end of this year, certain measures needed to complete the unwinding of FEMPI will continue over the period 2021-2023 as provided for in the 2017 Act. These can be found at Section 19 and Section 20 of the Act at the following link:
