Ms Considine, President of the Mediators' Institute of Ireland, and CEO and founder of EQuita Consulting Ltd, was President of South Dublin Chamber from 2017-2019, and will work with Chair of the body Kieran Mulvey.
“I am privileged to have been considered and chosen to work with Kieran and a number of high-level individuals on this independent body and such a high profile and important project,” said Margaret Considine.
Minister McGrath said: “The independent body to examine the additional working hours for public servants arising from the Haddington Road agreement is an important part of the new public service pay agreement.
“I am delighted that someone of the calibre and experience of Kieran Mulvey has agreed to Chair the body. I look forward to seeing the outcome of the body’s work in the period ahead.”
The establishment of an independent body to examine additional working hours is a key commitment made in the public service agreement, Building Momentum 2021-2022.
The Agreement provides that the Body reports its recommendations by the end of this year. A fund of €150m will be available to cover any operational costs that will arise as a result of the recommendations during the lifetime of the Agreement.
