Amharc ar fhreagraUnder Section 2(3) of the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Act Number 2 of 2009, fixed periodic allowances in the public service were reduced by either 5% or 8% depending on the level of annualised basic salary.
This section was repealed on the 1st of October 2020 under Section 24(1) of the Public Service Pay and Pensions Act 2017. These allowances have now returned to pre-FEMPI levels.
Further details on specific allowances paid to individual public servants and/or particular grades of public servants can be sought from the relevant Department.
