Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 December 2020
174. Deputy James Lawless asked the Minister for Transport the reason the terms of the Irish Aviation Authority 1996 pension scheme were amended in 2012 without a collective agreement of the staff of the IAA when a mediated collective agreement was in place until 31 December 2018; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40888/20]
Amharc ar fhreagraA submission has been made on behalf of some staff of the Irish Aviation Authority in accordance with Section 41 of the Irish Aviation Authority Act, 1993 in respect of the IAA 1996 pension scheme and this matter. Section 41 provides that a dispute on superannuation benefit may be submitted to the Minister for Transport. I am not able to comment on the details of that submission at this point but can advise the Deputy that it will be considered in accordance with the provisions of the Act.
