Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

CIÉ Group Pensions: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Dermot O'Leary:

I am happy with my contribution in terms of time. I am not complaining about that at all, in fairness. I have overstayed as usual. I heard what Mr. Gill said and we are back to the WRC again. We have asked for specific independent legal advice. We all know what "independent" means. We do not know what it is going to cost. If we did, we would have it out there publicly. The bottom line is whether someone is seriously going to consider a situation in which the country's transport system could grind to a halt on the basis that someone did not want to fund legal advice. Are we seriously talking about the three CIÉ companies being in dispute sometime soon because someone will make a decision behind our backs again on the basis that they will not provide legal advice? That is the reality of it.
