'Within our public sector, we should have a spirit of public service.'
People struggling with the cost-of-living should not be asked to fund pay increases for top civil servants who are already on huge wages, Paul Murphy has warned.
Those eligible will include medical consultants, judges, CEOs of State bodies, and senior civil servants – who originally had their wages cut through the Financial Emergency legislation in the wake of the 2008 financial crash.Yesterday, Minister Paschal Donohoe updated Cabinet on plans to set up a special review group to make recommendations on top civil servant salaries – warning that the State could see talent poached by higher wages in the private sector.
Deputy Murphy claimed pre-FEMPI wages for some of the commercial Semi-State CEOs were in the region of €500,000 per annum."We should have an egalitarian approach within the public sector –which doesn't mean that everyone is paid the same –but it does mean we need to have maximum pay caps.
