The Public Service Pay Commission, announced by my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, has been tasked with providing analysis and advice on public sector renumeration, including the Defence Forces, in the context of the FEMPI Acts 2009 – 2015. The Public Service Pay Commission is expected to report in the coming months. Once this report is available, the Government intends to initiate negotiations on a successor to the Lansdowne Road Agreement ahead of Budget 2018 considerations.
While I understand that PDFORRA has made a submission to the Commission, as the Deputy will appreciate, the Commission does not operate under the aegis of my Department and I am not aware of any further discussion between the Commission and PDFORRA in this regard.
