Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 June 2005
158 Mr. Cregan asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the reason for the delay in giving An Post pensioners their due increases; and when these increases and arrears will be awarded. [21452/05]
Amharc ar fhreagraAn Post is a commercial State body and the question of pension increases in the company is one in which I have no function.
A recently published assessors' report, commissioned by the Labour Court, on foot of negotiations between An Post and its unions, recommended that a 5% pay increase, backdated to 1 January 2005, be implemented by the end of June 2005. I understand that An Post intends to pay the recommended 5% increase to its employees and pensioners by the end of June 2005.
