77 Mr. Noonan (Limerick East) asked the Minister for Finance if he will give details of the cost and phasing of all public pay commitments under the Programme for Economic and Social Progress in 1993 and 1994.
Details of the phasing arrangements in relation to the outstanding pay elements of the Programme for Economic and Social Progress are set out in the statement I made following a meeting with the public service unions on 17 January 1992. Copies of tha statement have been placed in the Oireachtas Library.
The statement indicates, on page 4, that the Exchequer pay bill will, mainly as a result of the commitments undertaken therein, rise by some £350 million in 1993.
