Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

I have received notice from Senator Terry that she proposes to raise the following matter on the motion for the Adjournment of the House today:

The need for the Minister for Social and Family Affairs to close the loop-hole that allows employers or trustees to close down pension schemes, by requiring the pensions industry to set up a bonding protection scheme similar to the protection afforded to holiday makers by travel agencies.

I regard the matter raised by the Senator as suitable for discussion on the Adjournment and it will be taken at the conclusion of business.
