I move amendment No. 25:

In page 57, line 20, to delete “A pensionable” and substitute the following:“Subject to section 48 of the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012, a pensionable”.

Section 48 of the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012 provides that the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform may, by order, adjust the circumstances in which a public servant can be exempted from membership of the single public service pension scheme. Amendment No. 25 is a technical amendment required to ensure the provisions of this Bill relating to the superannuation arrangements of existing public servants who are appointed to be members of staff of a technological university do not conflict with those provisions. To be clear, this amendment relates only to new staff appointed following the establishment of a technological university. It does not apply to those staff who will automatically transfer from an institute of technology to a technological university in accordance with the provisions of section 79, where a technological university is being established or where an institute of technology is being incorporated into an already existing technological university. The superannuation arrangements applying to those staff are preserved by section 80.
