Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Social Protection

Report on Pension Charges: Discussion with Department of Social Protection

1:40 pm

Ms Patricia Murphy:

I cannot comment on individual schemes. What happens to schemes in wind-up phase does not come within the scope of the report. However, the report does provide information on costs relating to defined benefit schemes where companies sponsor such schemes. Those costs are generally borne by employers.
