Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 2 December 2014
289. Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine his plans to introduce changes in the Forestry Act to the way that pensions are treated and in particular the way that D stamps are treated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46278/14]
View answerI believe that the Deputy is referring to the Forestry Act 1988, under which Coillte Teoranta was established, which contains inter alia provisions applicable to staff transferred to the company (Section 43) and superannuation (Section 44). In the context of ‘the way pensions are treated and in particular in the way that D stamps are treated’, I do not currently have any plans to introduce changes to the Forestry Act 1988 as amended.
