230. Deputy David Cullinane asked the Minister for Transport the increases and changes that are waiting to be sanctioned for Dublin Port pension schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7262/22]
View answerI wish to confirm to the Deputy that my Department is considering a request from Dublin Port Company, in line with the provision of the Dublin Port Superannuation Scheme 1996, for my consent and that of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, to a 2.5% increase in pensions in payment and in deferment under the scheme.
That request for consent is being examined in my Department, with the assistance of NewERA. On completion of that review, I will consider the matter in consultation with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
