I am sure everybody will take an interest in this. I would like to hear the Minister elaborate on the way councillors can use the representational payment to provide themselves with pensions. Some of them have no other employment and no other funding which means they will receive no pension other than a gratuity payment when they retire from a local authority. How might they provide for their retirement to ensure they do not become a burden on the State?
