Having discussed the matter with government colleagues at this week’s Cabinet meeting, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Michael McGrath, has today directed his officials to arrange to enter into exploratory discussions with Public Service Unions and representative staff associations in relation to an agreed way forward on public service pay issues.
Minister McGrath commented:
“These will be difficult discussions against a very challenging backdrop. The discussions must be cognisant of the multiple challenges that the country is currently facing including the impact of rising inflation and the conflict in the Ukraine.
"However, I believe that there is scope for all Parties to engage constructively on a way forward that is reasonable and fair to both public servants and taxpayers generally."
