Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I will bring him up to date on this. The pensions to which Deputy McDonald referred are determined by the scale of salaries that applied and two of three former taoisigh have said they will not accept a restoration of some of the pension cut that was imposed upon former Members of the House arising from the emergency financial legislation. A cut of 28% still applies to pensions higher than €100,000. As part of the reversal of some of the legislation, it is impossible to legislate for an individual or two in this regard.
