Summary
Deputy Kenny asked whether the Minister for Transport would sign the statutory instrument implementing pension increases for retired CIÉ workers. The Tánaiste said he could not confirm it but would speak to the Minister and ask him to reply.
I wish to discuss the pension scheme of workers in CIÉ. A ballot was taken in June 2020 on changes to the regular wages scheme, a deal that would have seen modest increases in weekly pension incomes. The Minister for Transport, Deputy Eamon Ryan, stated last year and earlier this year that he would sign a statutory instrument to bring those increases for retired workers into effect. Will the Tánaiste confirm that the Minister will sign that statutory instrument?
