I propose to take Questions Nos. 456, 457 and 458 together.
Terms and conditions of employment for tutors, lecturers and other staff in higher education institutions, including membership of the single public service pension scheme, are a matter in the first instance for the employer. Information on that scheme is available at singlepensionscheme.gov.ie/ . In line with Sections 53 and 54 of the Technological Universities Act 2018, the transition from Institute of Technology to Technological University will not have an impact on the terms and conditions of staff. My officials are available to engage with Higher Education Institutions as needed to assist.
