In June the Government produced a document which proposed a pension insolvency minimum guarantee scheme. When will we see that scheme?

The former workers of SR Technics and Waterford Crystal are crying out for assistance from the Department of Social and Family Affairs in dealing with the serious pensions issues they are facing. The Minister referred to two schemes, neither of which have been commenced. In the case of Waterford Crystal, it appears no help is available at present. When will she move to provide much needed assistance to the former workers of SR Technics and Waterford Crystal?
