Vote 38: Health
Chapter 13: Irish Blood Transfusion Service Pension Funding

Mr. Jim Breslin:

We have set about that task this year. In fairness to the three organisations that are represented at this meeting, they have set about trying to do that with a very serious purpose. We think we are closer now, following the intervention of the Workplace Relations Commission, than we had been. The employees will be required to sign up to a pension scheme that will still be very good but will have some modifications on the current arrangements.
