Joint Oireachtas Committee on Social Protection

General Scheme of the Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings System Bill: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Barra Roantree:

Not to my knowledge, or at least, not by the ESRI recently. The Senator is quite right to say it is important, in the context of the conditions and retention of public sector employees, to think about both salaries and pensions jointly. It is something that impacts the decisions and it is worth thinking about those things in an integrated way, but again we have not done any work on that and I am not aware of any recent work that has been done on it. There may well be some I am not aware of.
