Minister for Education and Skills

The Government is committed to continuing to work with unions inside the public service agreements in progressing consideration of pay and conditions issues. The work of the Public Service Pay Commission is now underway in this regard.  The Government has stated that it intends to initiate negotiations on a successor to the Lansdowne Road Agreement once the initial report from the Commission is available.

All aspects relating to arrangements for the upcoming negotiations will be discussed between the parties in the coming weeks.
