Seán Sherlock: I move amendment No. 22: In page 42, line 22, to delete “years 7 to 9” and substitute “years 4 to 6”. I will be brief, as I do not want to spend too much time going over a Committee Stage argument, but I read the Minister's reply to that debate. I will quote from it. She stated: In any event the employer and employee contribution rates will only increase...

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

Heather Humphreys: I acknowledge that Deputy Sherlock only has the best of intentions with amendment No. 22, but I am afraid that, as on Committee Stage, I am unable to accept it. While this amendment might seem like a straightforward proposal and I accept the Deputy's bona fides in tabling it, a range of complexities mean it will require time to determine the appropriate standards that should apply in respect...

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

Seán Sherlock: I accept that the Minister is not minded to agree the Labour Party amendment. I am going over old ground from Committee Stage here, but in economic terms, our worry is what is called the opportunity cost. In essence, the time it will take to set this up means that workers will miss out on the scheme's benefits for a number of years. The example I cited on Committee Stage was of a worker on...

Having good ideas and trying to accommodate them has nothing to do with the colour of the party, and I believe that is accepted by the Deputy. If there is a good idea that will benefit people and I can take it on board, then I will certainly give it consideration, but in this case,...

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

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: The first thing to say is that the Minister is as good as her word. She promised to take four of my amendments back to the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel. They have returned to the House this evening as three amendments but all four are captured. I thank the Minister for that. It is unusual and rewarding as a Government backbencher when a Minister engages constructively with the...

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

Seán Sherlock: I looked at the amendment. Forgive me if I am being a little pedantic. It is just to seek clarity. It states, "aggregate statistical data relating to participation in the automatic enrolment retirement savings system". That is fine and self-evident. It also states, "statistical data relating to the types of investments held by AE provider schemes". To me, that reads like you can have...
