Public Service Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2004: Committee Stage.
11:00 am
Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)
Part of the dimension of the Bill is what one might call economic confidence. We are dealing well in advance with pensions that will create considerable liabilities for the public finances in 20 or 30 years' time. I accept the Senator's point that in practice many matters will be negotiated with the social partners.
