Social Welfare and Pensions Bill 2009: Committee Stage
2:00 pm
Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)
I do not propose to accept the amendment which effectively would impose a cap on the level of benefits based on salary. This would reduce the benefits of those on higher salaries who have an expectation of a higher pension. Scheme members paid into the scheme according to the salary they were paid.
