There are currently three Bills before the House relating to defined benefit pension schemes as Bills have been tabled by the Labour Party Bill, Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin. The shortest way to deal with this really important issue on which many parties in the Opposition are focused is to make it part of the social welfare and pensions Bill that will be the Government vehicle. Will the Taoiseach give us a timetable for the publication of the heads of the social welfare and pensions Bill? Will the Taoiseach confirm that the Bill will seek in its content to deal with the issues raised by the Opposition Bills I have referenced?
