Minister from Ciarén Connolly The Association of Assistant Secretaries and Higher Grades (AASHG) has requested a meeting with you in relation to their remuneration. They express particular concern that the Review Body report and the consideration thereof would not in their case take sufficient account of the termination of the performance-related award scheme which they regard as an integral part of their remuneration package. | appreciate the pressures on your time at present but, in view of the position in the civil service management structure of the grades which the Association represents (and bearing in mind that they are not part of ICTU), I would recommend that you ‘meet a delegation from the Association in the next couple of weeks and before any decisions are announced arising from the Review Body's report.
