Community employment supervisors’ pensions

Summary

Deputy Kitt seeks a superannuation scheme for long-serving community employment supervisors; the Taoiseach says related Bills will be combined and published, while he will follow up on the pensions issue.

There are two Bills on the A list dealing with industrial relations. I understand that there is another Bill to come before the House dealing with a superannuation scheme for supervisors in community employment schemes. These schemes have already lost a number of members. The supervisors, through the trade union movement, have made a strong case for a superannuation scheme. Some of these people have worked as supervisors for 20 years. They have been driving employment in communities, particularly in rural Ireland, as the Taoiseach probably knows. I would like to think the Government could bring forward the legislation or use this existing legislation to allow for a superannuation scheme for those supervisors.

The two Bills referred to by Deputy Kitt will be taken as one Bill. They have been cleared and will be published this week. I will advise Deputy Kitt in respect of the matter regarding superannuation for supervisors.
