Finance Minister Brian Lenihan will defend the U-turn on pay cuts for higher level civil servants to party members this evening.

Minister Lenihan will explain the reasoning behind the controversial decision to a Fianna Fáil parliamentary party meeting.

It emerged before Christmas that Budget pay cuts to particular levels in the public service would be less severe than originally planned.
