As the Deputy may be aware, An Post wrote to the then Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications in January of this year looking for authorisation for a 1.4% increase to pensions and deferred pensions in the An Post superannuation scheme effective from 1 January 2025. The Department then requested concurrence for that on 13 May and that was consented to on 27 May. Any further request will have to be assessed by the new Department of Culture, Communications and Sport which oversees An Post now. It will have to seek consent from my Department, following that.
In relation to pre-1984 employees, my Department has not, as yet, received a similar request in that regard.
