The Department of Public Expenditure Reform have been very clear that no further extension would be granted, and as such, the Special Scheme will conclude on 30th June 2025.

This matter had been referred to the Labor Court on 11th of June 2025.

As this is an on going Industrial Relations matter it would be inappropriate to comment any further.
