Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 5 July 2022
350. Deputy Matt Carthy asked the Minister for Education the bodies under her aegis in which persons will receive a pay rise from 1 July 2022; the role of each, where appropriate, or the anonymised salaries bands otherwise, the current remuneration and the proposed increase; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [35848/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy may be aware, Section 20 of the Public Service Pay and Pensions Act 2017 set out that restoration for public servants with annualised basic salaries above €150,000 would be completed by Ministerial Order by 1st July 2022. In accordance with the legislation, an Order under Section 20 of the Act was laid before the Oireachtas on the 30th of June.
The Department of Public Expenditure (DPER) recently advised departments of the process to be followed to confirm the 1st July restoration for affected posts under their aegis prior to restoration being given effect. As this process is ongoing and no pay increases under the legislation can be made until they have been verified by DPER, I have asked officials from my Department to respond directly to you with information on any pay increases to apply once this process has concluded.
