Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 12 October 2016
30. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Social Protection the outstanding EU directives his Department or agencies under its remit are responsible for implementing; if the implementation of any of them require specific legislative change; and if so, the details of same. [29897/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department is, at present, responsible for the transposition of two EU Directives set out in the following table. Implementation of the directives requires legislative change and the Department will ensure that the necessary law, regulation or administrative provisions or necessary changes to existing laws, regulations or administrative provisions will be made to give full effect to the directives. The Pensions Act 1990, as amended, together with regulations made under that Act, is the legislation pertaining to occupational and private pensions and therefore relevant to the transposition of these directives.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
