Ceist:

582. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if his attention has been drawn to concerns raised regarding the funding proposal submitted to the pensions authority regarding the CIÉ superannuation 1951 pension scheme; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that there was no consultation with the trade union group or the active membership of the pension scheme; if his attention has been further drawn to the fact that the CIÉ superannuation 1951 pension committee is now preparing to submit a new funding proposal containing measures that will seriously diminish members' pension benefits; his views on whether it is fair that the pension benefits of the active membership of the CIÉ superannuation 1951 pension committee schedule should be diminished as a result of a number of issues (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter.
