General Scheme of Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2017: Discussion
10:00 am
Ms Helen McDonald:
They are spouses of the original employees and it could be a long time after the employee-employer relation has ceased. It makes more sense for it to be in court. Somebody could live to be 80 and when they die their spouse goes looking for a pension. It is more appropriate for it to go to a court rather than the WRC.
