€1,000 pay restoration brought forward by five months to 1st April 2017

Earlier this week, it was announced that a €1,000 pay restoration on annualised salaries (ie salaries exclusive of allowances) up to €65,000, which was originally due for payment from 1st September 2017 under the Lansdowne Road agreement (LRA), has been brought forward by five months and will now be paid from 1st April 2017.

The improved arrangement is the result of negotiations between public service unions and the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform. The unions had insisted on early negotiations to accelerate public service pay restoration last November.

The Public Services Committee of ICTU recognised the value of this payment but has advised the management side that outstanding issues will be pursued in the further talks to take place following the initial report of the Public Service Pay Commission.
