That concludes Leaders' Questions. Please adhere to the one minute allowed for Questions on Policy or Legislation.

I will endeavour to do so. I want to raise an important issue that affects hundreds of former Waterford Crystal workers, some of whom join us in the Gallery. It is a group that has campaigned on this matter for years. The workers said Waterford Crystal Limited failed to properly inform them of their pension options when they were taking redundancy. This left them without an occupational pension and reliant on the State pension. I met a group of workers in Waterford recently. They are very angry and they believe, with good reason, that they have never gotten a fair hearing. The workers say the company misinformed them by offering them only one pension option, that is, the return of their pension contributions. By accepting this, workers claim they were unknowingly signing away their pension rights. The workers say they have never received any paperwork whatsoever outlining all of their options. Surely if proof exists of options being afforded to them, it should be produced but it has not been. I ask the Taoiseach to intervene in this very serious ongoing saga. I ask him to meet these workers, hear their case fully, have that case fully and independently examined and give these workers what they deserve, namely a fair hearing.

I thank the Deputy for raising this issue. It is one that has been brought to my attention in this House in recent weeks by her colleagues and colleagues on the Government benches. I am happy for my office to make arrangements in the coming weeks to have that meeting. I am also happy to ask the Minister for Social Protection to perhaps join me at that meeting as well. I have a note on the issue, but I am not sure the note captures some of the concerns, quite frankly, that have been expressed by workers. I want to hear from them directly and I am happy to work with you on this matter.
