Ceist:

318. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Justice and Equality the implications for agencies funded by his Department that fail to comply with consolidated public sector pay scales by continuing to make top-up payments to staff; when he expects this issue to be definitively resolved; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Minister for Justice and Equality

I wish to advise the Deputy that salaries paid to staff employed in all agencies under the remit of my Department are paid in accordance with public sector pay policy guidelines as set out by the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and that, consequentially, the issue of top-up payments does not arise.
