Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael)

A number of documents were laid before the Dáil, the third of which is the RTE defined contribution pension scheme from 1990 to 2006. RTE is the only semi-State body that has been operating a defined contribution pension scheme, rather than a defined benefit scheme. As far as I understand, that pension is not guaranteed by the State and is an entirely independent pension fund. Why is necessary to lay a scheme of this nature before the Oireachtas, if it is not guaranteed by the House and by the Exchequer?
