Question:

148. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if consultations in respect of proposed legislation have taken place with relevant parties (details provided) as previously committed to. [58925/21]

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

The Government has agreed to a timed amendment to the Industrial Relations (Provisions in Respect of Pension Entitlements of Retired Workers) Bill 2021.

This will allow time, as I outlined on the floor of the Dáil, to examine the issues carefully and to ensure that all stakeholders are consulted.

This process will commence as soon as possible and will involve engagement with organisations representing retired workers.
