Joint Oireachtas Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions
Role and Functions: Pensions Ombudsman
4:25 pm
Mr. Paul Kenny:
The two most recent appeals were brought by semi-State bodies. The active appeals currently before the High Court involve a number of Government Departments. I can see why some of them are made. There may be a fear that undesirable precedents have been created by determinations in favour of individuals, but I cannot take that into account in making a determination. I only have to determine whether a particular individual has been treated fairly.
