I have a brief question about defined benefit schemes.

The moves the Department are making are very positive. I have a concern about some of the defined schemes. We have seen some schemes beginning to unwind even though they have a surplus of €150 million in them and have never had a deficit. Can the witnesses confirm the legislation could override any rules within the schemes?
