Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

There are two reports to be submitted to the Dáil under today's Order Paper. No. 7 on the Order Paper contains the 2009 financial statements for Tolco Limited and No. 9 contains the 2009 report and financial statements for Eastern Vocational Enterprises Limited. Those companies operate under the HSE and apparently they both have liquidated the pension scheme for their staff, senior carers who have done a very important job in our country. Would the Taoiseach refer those two documents back to the HSE for further clarification? The SIPTU trade union is attempting to secure pensions for long-serving carers who work for both of those organisations which are now being liquidated.
