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

Mr. Gerry Foley:

I will make a point of information. In 2014, we decided to set up the Alliance of Retired Public Servants. The only reason we set up the organisation was that we had nowhere to go, and we still have nowhere to go. I am just making the observation. We have got nowhere since, other than Deputy Bríd Smith bringing in the Bill, even though we have been around to meet all the political parties. The Deputy was the only one to produce legislation. It is important that we have somewhere to go. To come back to what I said earlier, the country is still in breach of the Act that was brought in. I want to make that quite clear. The members will want to be careful when they are looking at it for themselves.
