asked the Minister for Finance whether he proposes to grant any increase to civil servants who do not come within the scheme of conciliation and arbitration; and, if so, if he will state the amount of the proposed increase and the date from which it will be made payable.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Civil Servants' Salaries.
The two main categories of civil servant which do not come within the scheme of conciliation and arbitration are industrial civil servants in all grades and non-industrial civil servants in certain grades. Increases in the pay of industrial civil servants are governed by increases granted to their counterparts in outside employment. I have not yet come to a decision regarding the grant of an increase in pay to non-industrial grades who do not come within the scheme.
Would the Minister say whether he is examining this question?
I intend to examine it as soon as possible.
