I move amendment No. 9:

In page 8, to delete lines 13 to 23 and substitute the following:“(5)(a) Save in accordance with a collective agreement negotiated with a recognised trade union or staff association and approved by the Minister with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, the entitlement to any superannuation benefit of, or in respect of, a person who was accepted into the employment of Forfás, Enterprise Ireland or a local authority in accordance with this section shall be determined, and the benefit shall be calculated and paid, by Forfás, Enterprise Ireland or that local authority, as may be appropriate, in accordance with such scheme, arrangements or enactments in relation to superannuation as applied to the person immediately before the dissolution day and, for that purpose, his or her pensionable service with Forfás, Enterprise Ireland or a local authority, as the case may be, shall be aggregated with his or her previous pensionable service.
(b) Save in accordance with a collective agreement negotiated with a recognised trade union or staff association and approved by the Minister with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, the entitlement to any superannuation benefit of, or in respect of, a person who is a former member of the staff of a county enterprise board (including those former members of staff of a county enterprise board who are deceased) shall be determined, and the benefit shall be calculated and paid, by the Minister in accordance with such scheme, arrangements or enactments in relation to superannuation as applied in respect of the person immediately before the dissolution day.
(c) All functions in relation to superannuation under any scheme, arrangement or enactment that, immediately before the dissolution day, vested in a county enterprise board shall on and from that day vest in the Minister.".
