Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill 2013

Public bill · Government · Presented

Public servants earning over €65,000 would face pay cuts of 5.5% to 10%, while certain public-service pensions over €32,500 would be reduced, with no pension falling below €32,500. Pay increments would generally be frozen for three years, although collective agreements or exceptional exemptions could alter this, and the pension-related deduction from serving staff would fall by €125 a year from January 2014. The measures aim to save €1 billion from public-service pay and pensions by 2015 and support the State’s financial recovery.
