View answerGovernment 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 in the coming weeks and will involve both public consultation and engagement with organisations representing retired workers.
