Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Industrial Relations (Provisions in Respect of Pension Entitlements of Retired Workers) Bill 2021: Discussion

Ms Sue Shaw:

No. To clarify, we as a group of representatives had one meeting with the Minister of State. He informed us of the consultation process that was about to be rolled out. That consultation process amounted to written submissions. It was not a consultation. It was written submissions. After that, we were informed that the Government would come back to us with further questions and he hoped to meet with us again shortly. He did not. There has been no report and no recommendations. There was no detailed analysis that we are aware of. I am not saying that did not happen but that analysis was not shared in a further meeting that could have been followed through on. It did not happen. Our sense is that the consultation was half-hearted.
