Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 15 December 2020
180. Deputy Brendan Howlin asked the Minister for Transport the current status of the referral under section 41(7) of the Irish Aviation Authority Act 1993 of the matter of IAA staff pensions; the reason increases in pension payments have not been awarded in recent years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [43115/20]
View answerI can confirm that two submissions on pension schemes have been made on behalf of some staff of the Irish Aviation Authority. Both of these submssions are in accordance with Section 41 of the Irish Aviation Authority Act, 1993 which provides that a dispute on superannuation benefit may be submitted to the Minister for Transport for final determination by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
I am not able to comment on the details of the submissions at this point but can advise the Deputy that it will be considered in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
