Séamus Healy (Tipperary South, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, in view of the fact that this is national pensions week, the need for the Government to stop foreign multinationals, who now own all but ten local newspapers, from undermining the existing defined benefit staff pension schemes and replacing them with defined contribution schemes, thereby denying staff a guaranteed pension outcome and significantly reducing their own employer contributions and to ask the Minister to make a statement on the matter.
