I move amendment No. 13:

In page 21, line 7, after "Pensions Act 2009," to insert the following:

"or whose liabilities are commenced to be discharged after that date".

Currently the clause is limited to schemes that are wound up after the passing of this Bill. However, we wish to have one scheme included in this, the SR Technics scheme, which was wound up three weeks ago. We ask that this amendment be accepted. It provides for companies whose liabilities are commenced to be discharged after the date. A total of 1,000 workers lost their jobs at the airport in north County Dublin recently. Their pensions are at risk and this amendment seeks to ensure they can gain from the worthwhile provisions in this Bill.
