The Irish Senior Citizens Parliament, ISCP, in a submission referring to Part 4 containing the amendment to the Pensions Act 1990 that will give additional powers to the trustees of pension schemes, attached an extract from the debate in the Dáil and noted the Minister's assurance that "It is not a question of anybody being reduced". It had been indicated that this was a technical measure before it was debated in the Dáil. However, the ISCP continues to seek a commitment that no adverse consequences will arise for scheme members as a result of the insertion of section 59H. The amendment seems to have defeated the best minds of all parties in the Dáil other than the Minister.
