Public Accounts Committee

2013 Annual Report of the Comptroller General and 2014 Appropriation Accounts
Vote 38: Health
Chapter 13: Irish Blood Transfusion Service Pension Funding

10:00 am

Mr. Andrew Kelly:

It was the Department of Health, but it was for a period of about two months. The issue was that we were almost seen as not having a pension fund or pensions scheme and when the issue was raised, it was not clear if the Act applied. The matter was clarified in April, following the introduction of the Act.
