asked the Minister for Transport and Power if he will sanction as soon as possible the CIE Superannuation Scheme, 1951 (Amendment) Scheme, 1973.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - CIE Superannuation Scheme.
13.
Under section 44 of the Transport Act, 1950, the onus is on CIE to make proposals to me for the amendment of superannuation schemes.
Proposals for amending the CIE Superannuation Scheme, 1951, have now been received in my Department and are under sympathetic consideration.
The proposed amending superannuation scheme is intended to have retrospective effect from 1st January, 1971.
In view of the fact that many ex-members of CIE staff are waiting for four or five years, I ask the Minister to have this matter expeditiously dealt with.
Yes, I think I can promise the Deputy that.
