asked the Minister for Finance whether his Department has yet replied to the communication from the Transport Salaried Staffs Association seeking permission to create with CIE a suspense account in connection with the CIE Superannuation Scheme, 1951 until such time as the necessary ministerial orders are made to alter the provisions of the scheme.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - CIE Superannuation Scheme.
21.
The Minister for Transport and Power is primarily responsible for the CIE superannuation scheme, 1951 and I have, therefore, referred the communication in question to him.
What was the date of the communication?
13th May.
This relates to a matter which has been dragging on since October, 1969. It will soon be two years since the discussion started and the only progress is that one Minister sends a letter to another Minister.
The delay is being caused by the CIE group of unions. Let the Deputy pass that message on.
I will see that they get the record.
Good.
