Paul Connaughton
Ceist:323 Deputy Paul Connaughton asked the Minister for Health and Children if employees of the Irish Blood Transfusion Service are public servants, the reason they have always paid into a private pension; if the pension is taken over by the public service, the changes that will occur; if employees will still have the benefits of their contributory pension as well as the public service pension; if the pension is taken over by the public service, will the employees still have to pay a pension contribution; as public servants, the reason the Department of Finance has not taken the pension levy that the IBTS staff have paid since March 2009; if her attention has been drawn to the fact that when the pension levy was introduced the employees were informed they were not eligible to contribute to it; the position of employees with eight years or less employment with the IBTS in the calculation of pensionable salaries if they are taken into a public service pension system; the reason it has taken since March 2009 to find out what pension staff should be paying into; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
