Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach

Withdrawal from Irish Banking Market: Engagement with KBC

Mr. Ale? Bla?ek:

On pensions, as I mentioned, we are in discussion with the trustees of the pension fund. It is my concern that this be dealt with properly. Until the discussions have concluded, I cannot confirm how this arrangement will work but I propose that in time, when this has been agreed with the trustees, I will formally inform the Oireachtas joint committee about the result in order that it will have visibility of the result, which I am quite confident will be viewed positively by affected employees.

We have received the communication and we will handle it in line with how we have done so in the past.
