Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 June 2021
193. Deputy Joe Carey asked the Minister for Transport the status of two submissions made on behalf of former employees of the Irish Aviation Authority regarding changes in their superannuation scheme; when his Department will be in a position to make a response; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19322/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraSection 41 (7) of the Irish Aviation Authority Act, 1993 provides that a dispute in respect of superannuation benefit may be submitted to the Minister for Transport for determination by the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
I can confirm that two such submissions have been received by my Department on behalf of staff of the Irish Aviation Authority. These appeals are now with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform in accordance with the statutory process and officials are engaging on those appeals.
As the appeal process is ongoing, I am not in a position to comment further at this point.
