15. There will be no further reductions in the pay rates of serving public servants for the lifetimeof this Agreement. This commitment is subject to compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
28. The implementation of this Agreement is subject to no currently unforeseen budgetarydeterioration.
They agreed to the blanket bank guarantee without full facts so nothing new there. Pretty much every decision they have made over the last 8+ years has been at best suboptimal, ranging to disastrous. Any politician who puts country before party knows it is time for an election.This is not about the PS,rather about the government knowingly agreeing to something when they didn't have the full facts..
@ thedaras, did you read the agreement in full? Especially the part concerning any future pay cuts and the Governments opt out clause at the end of the agreement?
Oh right ,does this mean then,that because the bail out was way over what they thought it would be ,that they can now implement the opt out clause?

You say it. This is the problem with having large bloated government services filled with people that cannot be laid off for being incompetent or in times of budgetary distress.Croke Park Agreement is finished. I love the latest idea of thousands of voluntary redundancies in the HSE. Suddenly they can find thousands of people that they do not need?
Yes indeed, but I would not even give them credit by calling their decisions suboptimal.They agreed to the blanket bank guarantee without full facts so nothing new there. Pretty much every decision they have made over the last 8+ years has been at best suboptimal, ranging to disastrous. Any politician who puts country before party knows it is time for an election.
My question is..How come (why did ) the government agree to anything when they didn't in fact know how much the bail out would cost?
How do you work that one out? Are you saying that public servants won't be affected by tax rises in the budget?This is coming between me and my sleep..
The Croke park agreement was finalised a couple of months ago,yet at that stage the government did not know how much the bail out would cost.

It would seem very short sighted to agree to something without knowing the full details of the bail out,knowing that this would in fact mean the PS are safe while the rest of us have to make up the balance of the huge difference of the amount of the bail out..
This is not about the PS,rather about the government knowingly agreeing to something when they didn't have the full facts..
