Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As the Deputy is aware, the Minister has met the Attorney General in respect of the chairman of the Pensions Authority. It is not a loophole. Were legislation to be introduced, it could not be made retrospective. That is the advice we have received. In that context, it is not an issue. The Minister has sought advice from the Attorney General on whether he might be able to do something on this issue in the public interest, but it is not a case of introducing legislation and making it retrospective to cover these difficulties.
