Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 April 2009
613 Deputy Joe Costello asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources when he proposes to approve the new RTÉ pension scheme, the 50/50 risk sharing scheme; the reason for the delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15917/09]
View answerApproval of any RTÉ pension scheme is required under Section 15 of the Broadcasting Act, 1960. A scheme submitted to the Minister under this section shall, if approved of by the Minister with the concurrence of the Minister for Finance, be carried out by the Authority in accordance with its terms. Officials from my Department are continuing to engage with officials from the Department of Finance to progress RTÉ pension issues.
