Amharc ar fhreagraThe 2016 allocation for my Department and its Agencies to meet the pay and pension increases from the Lansdowne Road Agreement is €72,000. In addition, appropriation-in-aid receipts for my Department will be reduced by €885,000 reflecting lower Pension Related (Pension Levy) deductions from salaries. The overall allocation for my Department in 2016 has increased by 4.2% compared to 2015. Details of the allocations are set out in the Expenditure Report 2016 published on 13 October.
