Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 July 2022
90. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the bodies under his aegis in which persons will receive a pay rise from 1 July 2022; the role of each, where appropriate, or the anonymised salaries bands otherwise, the current remuneration and the proposed increase; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [35849/22]
View answerWhile no official is due to receive a pay rise, Section 20 of the Public Service Pay and Pensions Act 2017 set out that restoration for public servants with annualised basic salaries above €150,000 would be completed by Ministerial order by 1 July 2022. In accordance with the legislation, an Order under Section 20 of the Act was laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas on 30 June. My Department received Circular 15/2022 from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, dated 5 July, which sets out instructions to give effect to this. My Department is reviewing this Circular and will provide the relevant information, in respect of pay restoration, to the Deputy in the coming days.
