550. Deputy Noel Rock asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport the reason correspondence (details supplied) was not forwarded to the sub-committee of a scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51744/19]

As Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport in Ireland.

Issues in relation to pension schemes are primarily a matter for the Trustees of the pension scheme, the company and their employees.

In light of the above, I have referred the question to CIÉ for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
