The particular Adjudicator's finding in question falls under Paragraph 1.16  of the Public Service Agreement 2010 - 2014 i.e. the Croke Park Agreement, which states that "The position concerning Public Service pay, including any outstanding adjudication findings, will be reviewed in Spring 2011 in accordance with the statutory requirement under both the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Acts of 2009 to review the operation, effectiveness and impact of the Acts before 30 June 2011, and every year thereafter."

It is further the position in relation to this Adjudicator's finding that under paragraph 5.3 of the Public Service Stability Agreement 2013-2018, i.e. the Lansdowne Road Agreement, "the Parties have agreed that any outstanding adjudication findings as referred to in paragraph 1.16 of the Public Service Agreement 2010 - 2014 will be reviewed jointly by the Parties prior to the expiry of this Agreement."  Accordingly it is the case that the Adjudicator's finding in question remains subject to this review process.
