Howlin: Public service workers will see some perks stopped

Public Expenditure Minister Brendan Howlin has insisted any cuts to public sector allowances will be made in the context of the Croke Park Agreement.

He said while no decision had been made over which workers were to see their perks stopped, they would not be confined to new appointments alone.

“It’s been known for some time that all allowances are under review,” said Mr Howlin.
