View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 175, 179, 192 and 274 together.
As the Deputies will be aware the pension arrangements for the staff of Permanent TSB are a matter for the management of that company and for the trustees of the relevant pension schemes. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on the implications for an individual arising out of any proposed restructuring by Permanent TSB of its defined benefit pension schemes. I understand that that the matter has recently been heard by the Labour Court.
