Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2026
173. Deputy Eoghan Kenny asked the Minister for Transport if he can appreciate that the language used to retired CIÉ workers regarding their pension agreement would have been seen as the day in which they accepted the proposals that implementation of such agreement would take place; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47175/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs Minister for Transport, I have responsibility for policy and overall funding in relation to public transport. As a commercial semi-state body, Córas Iompair Éireann (CIÉ) are responsible for the provision of pension schemes for their employees.
Decisions regarding the administration of pension increases are ultimately a matter for the CIÉ Board as informed by actuarial advice and are subject to requirements imposed by statute and scheme rules.
Accordingly, I have referred the Deputy's question to CIÉ for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a reply within ten working days.
