The Deputy will be aware that a final settlement was reached with unions at the end of 2021 to implement a 2008 Labour Court recommendation relating to the provision of a pension scheme for CE supervisors and CE assistant supervisors who are employed by CE scheme sponsoring organisations. The settlement resolved the long-standing issue through the payment of a once off ex-gratia payment to eligible CE supervisors and assistant supervisors.
Generally, under the terms of this settlement, on reaching retirement age, eligible CE supervisors and assistant supervisors will receive a once off ex-gratia payment in respect of time employed by CE schemes since 2008.
In total, 664 applications have been received to date. 619 claims have been awarded with a total of almost €5.5 million paid to date.
Processing and payment of claims for people who retire during 2023 will continue as they retire and submit their claims.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
