Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 February 2021
116. Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan asked the Minister for Transport the status of CIÉ pension holders in 52 scheme negotiations; if the pension holders will receive an increase in their pensions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5534/21]
View answerAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport in Ireland.
The CIÉ Group has two pension schemes, namely the Regular Wages Scheme (“RWS”) and 1951 superannuation scheme (“1951 Scheme”); and issues in relation to CIÉ pension schemes are primarily a matter for the trustees of the schemes, the CIÉ Group and their employees.
I have therefore referred the Deputy’s question to CIÉ for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
