No cost-increasing claims by trade unions or employees for improvements in pay or conditions of employment can be made or processed during the currency of the Haddington Road Agreement.

As the Deputy will be aware, I have indicated my intention to enter into discussions later this year with the public service unions, and the representatives of public service pensioners, on successor arrangements to Haddington Road and on the gradual wind down of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (FEMPI) Acts. The public service unions have also indicated their intention to submit pay claims this year, should economic circumstances permit. Any discussions on pay will, of course, take place in the context of the State's fiscal position and the pace of financial recovery for this year and 2016.
