Olwyn Enright (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

For how long has the Government been aware of the pension deficit at Bord na Mona? How many other semi-State companies are in the same position? What discussions has the Government had with Bord na Móna on the issue? What is the view of the Tánaiste and the Government on the proposed compromise of paying 37% of the accrued benefit to pensioners in Bord na Móna instead of their full entitlements? I ask this in the context of the industrial relations (amendment) Bill.
