Bankers’ remuneration review
Pearse Doherty asked when the Mercer review of State-bankers’ pay would be completed, published and debated; the Taoiseach had no date but promised a note on its status.
There has been a good deal of debate and questions in the past year and a half on bankers' remuneration. The Taoiseach is perfectly aware that some bankers are working for banks owned completely by the State and are being paid hundreds of thousands of euro and pensions that are greater again. Will the Taoiseach indicate to the House when the Mercer review, commissioned more than a year ago, will be finalised? Will it be laid before the House and will the Taoiseach allow for a debate on the report?
