Congress’ Public Services Committee (PSC) received written confirmation last week from the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform that, if accepted, the current pensions increase policy - of maintaining parity between the pay of serving staff and pensions - will be extended for the duration of the new pay agreement.

In response to the PSC’s letter seeking clarification in relation to future pension increase policy, as part of the new pay agreement negotiated in the Workplace Relations Commission, Michael McGrath agreed to the inclusion following consultation with officials from his department.

As soon as the confirmation landed, it was updated on Fórsa’s website on the dedicated FAQ page to assist and inform members with any questions they might have on the new proposals.

All new developments will be regularly and immediately added to the webpage, and you can keep up with them HERE.
