Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 2 December 2009
71 Deputy Damien English asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the reason a statutory instrument was used to grant additional pension entitlements to a person (details supplied) rather than the provisions of Section 6(3) of the Labour Services Act, 1987; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [44536/09]
View answerThe Government approved special pension arrangements in the case concerned on 28 March 2000. Following discussions between the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment and the Department of Finance on the appropriate vehicle to provide for these pension arrangements, a Statutory Instrument was drafted and signed by FÁS and the two Ministers concerned in September 2000.
