I am aware that this committee will also discuss the matter. The Chairman has suggested bringing in the Pensions Authority, which would be a good step, and perhaps a request from the committee for a cost-benefit analysis to be carried out would be the logical thing to do.

On the cost-benefit analysis that was carried out in the UK, the figures are quite stark. Are the figures estimated to be of similar magnitude here in Ireland as a result of the imposition of this directive?
