Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill 2009

Public bill · Government · Presented

The measure would introduce a pension-related deduction from the pay of many public servants, including Oireachtas members, at rates of 3%, 6% and 10% depending on income, while allowing the deduction to reduce taxable income. It would also let the Government cut payments to health professionals and other State service providers, defer farm-waste grants, and reduce the early childcare supplement from €1,104 to €996 a year and end it when a child turns five; the aim was to reduce public spending during the 2009 economic crisis.
