Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am glad two former taoisigh have said they will not accept the part of the restoration of a pension cut. These very high pensions were determined by salary levels at the time, and are different now.

With regard to Clerys, the Minister of State, Deputy Nash, brought a report on the situation to the Cabinet, which was approved and published last week. He made the point that the legislation has not yet been tested. This is expected to happen and, depending on whether it stands up, it may be necessary to refer what happened here to the CLRG for its recommendations as to what, if any, changes might be necessary.
