Michael Brennan (Progressive Democrats)

I know of Senator Terry's deep interest in the pensions area. She has made a fine contribution to the House in this area, certainly in my time here. The Pensions Board report which was published recently has been laid before the House but I do not know if we have debated it. If not, I would be in favour of doing so and I will ask the Leader if we can find time for that. I have made the same request in the other House. I hope we can go through all the issues then.

The forum on pensions which I have called comprising interested parties and stakeholders will be on 5 May and I will invite members of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Social and Family Affairs and Members of both Houses who are interested in the subject to attend. I will ensure the Members who spoke on the subject today are invited. It is a considerable area on which I had better not start with ten seconds to go. I could go on for half an hour on pensions.
