Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings Systems Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (22 May 2024)

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: I support all that Deputy Sherlock said. It is vitally important we ensure no room for manoeuvre exists for people who will look to exploit the system, or will look to not give some categories of workers their full entitlements, and that we work to avoid that. The points were well made. I welcome Deputy Ó Cathasaigh's amendments and commend him on them. I also commend the Minister on...

Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings Systems Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (22 May 2024)

Heather Humphreys: I acknowledge the amendments tabled by Deputy Ó Laoghaire, but the auto-enrolment scheme will not be invested in through private pension providers. That will not happen. It will be invested in through investment providers in the same way the NTMA invests the State's money. This will involve the savings of members of the scheme. It is set up in such a way as to protect members. It is...

Seán Sherlock: The Minister has not advanced her position since Committee Stage. I accept that.

However, there are other channels of communication, through her departmental officials and stakeholders out there in the ether who are very interested in this legislation, whereupon...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Minister for taking what I had proposed to the OPC and coming back with an amendment. Of course, I had originally two individual amendments on this but the OPC found a better place to do it with one amendment. As the Minister said, it is in section 69, which provides for AE provider schemes and risk levels. I am firmly of the opinion, as the impact of climate change will...

Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings Systems Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (22 May 2024)

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: From the outside, if you had a look at this amendment, which removes the word "may" and replaces it with the word "shall", even if you did not have a knowledge of the legislative process, you would ask what are those guys doing in there that something like this is what is taking up their time. However, this is probably the most consequential amendment. Certainly, it is the most...

Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings Systems Bill 2024: Report and Final Stages (22 May 2024)

Seán Sherlock: There was much deliberation in relation to the words "may" and "shall". There is a doctorate in me somewhere after I leave this place on the use of those two words in legislation and on their import. I acknowledge Deputy Ó Cathasaigh's work on this.
