Olwyn Enright (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

The improvements relate to the State pension; they do not relate to the plethora of other pension areas which have not been improved, rather have seen a disimprovement. The Minister mentioned an implementation period of 2012 and I know she stated that previously but it is much too far away. Either way, the report still needs to be published so people know what will be there and can make plans because the crucial aspects of pensions are planning and time. Does the Minister mean publication at the very end of the year or during the summer? Does she have any idea of a wider timeframe?
