Mr. Diarmuid Collins:
All of us have similar pension schemes in statutes. I am not sure if the issue has yet manifested in other universities but for us, it came to a head as the staff, as they retired, were taking actions against the university for the shortfall in their pensions. Maybe we were ahead of other universities in this regard but I could not say for definite the situation in the others.
