- Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Bill 2011: Report Stage (11 Jul 2012)
Mary Lou McDonald: I move amendment No. 28: To delete pages 33 and 34 and in page 35, to delete lines 1 to 20. Deputy Fleming has tabled an alternative amendment to this one. The crux of the issue is the difficulty with the fast accrual calculation. A lengthy exchange took place in respect of the fact that everybody under the new scheme will be less well-off in terms of their pension entitlement and it will...
- Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Bill 2011: Report Stage (Resumed) (11 Jul 2012)
Mary Lou McDonald: I tabled amendment No. 35 to remove much of the discretion provided to the Minister in the Bill.

There is no need for all the caveats and staged examinations set out in the Bill. My amendment simply seeks to...

Logically, that would have been more equitable. It would have...

- Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Bill 2011: Report Stage (Resumed) (11 Jul 2012)
Mary Lou McDonald: I appreciate the Minister's comprehensive reply. The loss of Government confidence is a very elastic concept. For very good reasons one could lose the confidence of a Government. The legislation allows for a sanction of sorts and the Minister has set out the reasons. This is in cases where there has been a financial cost to the scheme or to the State. I suspect Deputy Fleming's...
