- Darragh O'Brien.
the IASS Pension scheme

*    For WRITTEN answer on Tuesday, 12th June, 2018.

R E P L Y
Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection (Regina Doherty T.D.):
It is proposed to take Question Nos. 1242 & 1243  together.
The Deputy will appreciate that I cannot intervene in the pension arrangements applying to a particular pension scheme or introduce any measures which would benefit the members of a particular pension scheme to the exclusion of members of similar pension schemes.
While I am very conscious that any reduction in benefits can have a significant impact on scheme members, any such consideration is a matter for the pension scheme trustee, the companies participating in the scheme, the scheme members and the Pensions Authority.
As the Deputy is aware the scheme in question is now the subject of legal proceedings.  Therefore, it would be inappropriate for me to comment any further on the matter.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
