Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Supporting a Just Transition: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Patricia King:

No, we are not happy that the pension has the capacity. We raised this at the meeting with the Minister. We said to the Minister that if the forum was established, part of its work would be to traverse that ground to understand where the difficulties are. There are many complicated issues with the pension, such as the seasonal and contract nature of people's employment and so forth. We are not happy, but if there is no forum and no dialogue it will not be possible to resolve it.
